Host/<i>Malassezia</i> Interaction: A Quantitative, Non-Invasive Method Profiling Oxylipin Production Associates Human Skin Eicosanoids with <i>Malassezia</i>.

The role of eukaryotic microorganisms in shaping skin lipid mediators and hence skin physiology may be significant, not only because skin resident fungi have been shown to be able to produce lipid mediators per se but also as certain fungi, such as Malassezia , are known to be causatively linked to inflammatory skin disorders [ 36 ] such as pityriasis versicolor; seborrheic dermatitis; atopic dermatitis; and psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated disease [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].
