The fungistatic and fungicidal activity of ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, and selenium sulfide against Pityrosporum, a yeast thought to play a pathogenic role in seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, was assessed in Dixon broth for Pityrosporum ovale and Sabouraud broth for Pityrosporum pachydermatis.
