Abstract

Pityrosporum pachydermatis was repeatedly isolated from portions of alopecic tissue from the thorax and ears of a black bear cub (Ursus americanus). Yeastlike cells morphologically identical with those of P. pachydermatis were observed in stained tissue sections. This is the first reported association of this yeast with a member of the family Ursidae.

Resumen

Se aisló varias veces el Pityrosporum pachydermatis de muestras de tejido glabro del tórax y orejas de un cachorro de oso negro (Ursus americanus). Se observó también en cortes histológicos teñidos la presencia de células levaduriformes de morfología idéntica a la del P. pachydermatis. Es ésta probablemente la primera observación relatada de la asociación de esta levadura con un ejemplar de la familia Ursidae.
