- Title
A New Model for Growth and Filament Production of <em>Pityrosporum Ovale (Orbiculare)</em> on Human Stratum Corneum In Vitro.

- Abstract
A new model for the production of hyphae in <em>Pityrosporum ovale in vitro</em> is described. <em>P. ovale</em> was cultured on human stratum corneum pieces placed directly on a culture medium. The highest number of hyphae (24%) was seen after 6 d of incubation at 37°C in a microaerophilic environment. There was a variation between the strains tested. This model opened possibilities to study the filamentous form of <em>P. ovale</em> in vitro. The effect of antimycotics and variation in antigens may be investigated and compared to the yeast form.
