- Abstract
Adherence of Malassezia yeast cells to human keratinocytes was assessed by a novel technique using double-sided Sellotape. Although adherence using double-sided Sellotape is still merely a model for in vivo adherence. It approximates to the conditions found on the skin surface. There were no differences in adhesive properties to human keratinocytes between Malassezia strains originating from HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis, nor was there a relationship between the severity of seborrhoeic dermatitis and in vitro adherence to human keratinocytes.
