Efficient identification of Malassezia yeasts by matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS)

Infections caused by Malassezia yeasts are most likely underdiagnosed, because fatty acid supplementation is needed for growth. Rapid identification of Malassezia species is essential for appropriate treatment of Malassezia‐related skin infections, fungaemia and nosocomial outbreaks in neonates, children and adults and can be life‐saving for those patients. Ma‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) has been reported to be a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool to identify clinically important yeasts, but so far no data have been reported on identification of Malassezia isolates with this technique.
