heal.abstractA novel formulation of RPMI 1640 medium for susceptibility testing of Malassezia yeasts by broth microdilution (BMD) and Etest is proposed. A modification of the NCCLS M27-A2 BMD method was used to test 53 isolates of Malassezia furfur (12 isolates), M. sympodialis (8 isolates), M. slooffiae (4 isolates), M. globosa (22 isolates), M. obtusa (2 isolates), M. restricta (2 isolates), M. pachydermatis (1 isolates), and M. dermatis (2 isolates) against amphotericin B, ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, terbinafine, and posaconazole by BMD and Etest. RPMI and antibiotic medium 3 (AM3) were supplemented with glucose, bile salts, a mixture of fatty acids, and n-octadecanoate fatty acids and Tween 20. M. furfur ATCC 14521 and M. globosa ATCC 96807 were used as quality control strains. Depending on the species, MICs were read after 48 or 72 h of incubation at 32 degrees C. Low azole and terbinafine MICs were recorded for all Malassezia species, whereas amphotericin B displayed higher MICs (>/=16 microg/ml) against M. furfur, M. restricta, M. globosa, and M. slooffiae strains, which were AM3 confirmed. Agreement of the two methods was 84 to 97%, and intraclass correlation coefficients were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Because of higher amphotericin B MICs provided by Etest for strains also displaying high BMD MICs (>/=1 microg/ml), agreement was poorer. The proposed media are used for the first time and can support optimum growth of eight Malassezia species for recording concordant BMD and Etest MICs.en
