Living and Thriving on the Skin: <italic toggle="yes">Malassezia</italic> Genomes Tell the Story
ABSTRACT Our understanding of the interactions between normal skin microbiota and the human host has been greatly extended by recent investigations. In their recent study in mBio, A. Gioti et al. (mBio 4[1]:e00572-12, 2013) sequenced the genome of the atopic eczema-associated yeast, Malassezia sympo...
