Abstract
During a survey of the occurrence of Malassezia species in the external ear canals of dogs with chronic otitis externa, lipid-dependent Malassezia spe cies were isolated in three dogs. These species were identified as Malassez ia furfur and M. obtusa but showed atypical assimilation patterns. To our k nowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of lipid-dependent spec ies of the genus Malassezia in association with canine otitis.
