Malassezia pachydermatis is a zoophilic yeast in the division Basidiomycota. It was first isolated in 1925 by Fred Weidman, and it was named pachydermatis (Greek for 'thick-skin') after the original sample taken from an Indian rhinoceros (Rhinocerosus unicornis) with severe exfoliative dermatitis.^[2] Within the genus Malassezia, M. pachydermatis is most closely related to the species M. furfur.^[3] A commensal fungus, it can be found within the microflora of healthy mammals such as humans, cats and dogs,^[4]^[5] However, it is capable of acting as an opportunistic pathogen under special circumstances and has been seen to cause skin and ear infections, most often occurring in canines.^[6]^[7]
