AB  - BACKGROUND: 83 Malassezia strains (65 wild isolates and 18 reference strains) 
      were differentiated to the species level using conventional methods including 
      morphological and biochemical features. These strains were further analyzed by 
      Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IRS). RESULTS: FT-IRS analysis 
      allowed a clear separation of Malassezia strains according to species-specific 
      cluster formation. The main differences were found between Malassezia furfur and 
      other Malassezia species. In addition, within the species Malassezia furfur, a 
      separation in two similar groups could be demonstrated. A disadvantage of FT-IRS 
      is the relatively expensive apparatus. A great advantage is the speed and 
      simplicity of the procedure, producing results within minutes. CONCLUSION: In 
      pityriasis versicolor, Malassezia globosa was the dominant species found in 62% 
      of cases. In addition, Malassezia furfur was found in 60% of dandruff cases.
