Pityrosporum pachydermatis in a black bear (Ursus americanus). 1978

I F Salkin, and M A Gordon, and W B Stone

Pityrosporum pachydermatis was repeatedly isolated from portions of alopecic tissue from the throax 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.
