Resumen
Las levaduras del género Malassezia forman parte
de la microbiota normal de piel humana y animal.
Excepto M. pachydermatis, todas las especies de este
género son lipodependientes. Bajo ciertos factores,
Malassezia se asocia como agente etiológico en diversas
afecciones dérmicas. Uno de los principales factores de
virulencia de estas levaduras es su actividad de lipasa
(AL). El objetivo de este trabajo fue introducir modificaciones a las técnicas de determinación de la actividad
lipasa (AL) para su aplicación en levaduras lipodependientes y estudiar la AL en cepas de Malassezia aisladas
de personas con piel sana y de pacientes con pitiriasis
versicolor (PV), dermatitis seborreica (DS) y psoriasis
(PS). Se estudiaron 94 cepas aisladas de 34 pacientes
con lesiones de PV, 20 con DS, 7 con PS y 33 cepas de
personas con piel sana. Las modificaciones planteadas
a la técnica, que incluyeron variación del medio de
cultivo y tiempos de incubación, permitieron la
determinación semicuantitativa de la AL con resultados
claros y definidos. El 88,23% de las cepas presentó AL.
No se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas al comparar la AL entre las cepas de pacientes con
afecciones de piel y las cepas aisladas de personas sanas.
La producción de lipasas de las especies de Malassezia
en orden decreciente fue: M. sympodialis, M. slooffiae,
M. furfur, M. globosa, M. restricta. M. globosa y M.
furfur fueron las especies en que se observaron mayor
cantidad de cepas no productoras de AL y cepas con
gran variabilidad en la medida de AL
Yeasts of the genus Malassezia are part of the regular microbiota in human and animal skin. Except for M. pachydermatis, all the species of this genus are lipodependent. Malassezia, under certain factors, is associated as an etiological agent in diverse dermic affections. One of the main virulence factors of these yeasts is their lipase activity (LA). The objective of this research was to introduce some changes in the techniques adopted to determine the lipase activity (LA) in order to apply them to lipodependent yeasts and to study likewise the LA in Malassezia strains isolated from healthy skin people and patients diagnosed with pitiriasis versicolor (VP), greasy dermatitis (GD) and psoriasis ( PS). Ninety four strains isolated from 34 patients having VP lesions, 20 with GD, 7 with PS and 33 strains from healthy skin people. Changes suggested to the technique involved a variation in the medium of culture as well as in the time of incubation what resulted in the semiquantitative determination of the LA together with clear and precise results. The presence of LA was observed in of 88.23% strains. The comparison of the LA among strains of patients bearing injured skin and those isolated from healthy skin did not show any significant statistical difference. The production of lipasae from Malassezia species were in decreasing order: M.sympodialis, M. slooffiae, M.furfur,M.globosa and M.restricta. M. glo- bosa and M. furfur were the species that revealed the highest number of non producting LA strains as well as strains with the highest variability in the degree of LA
