&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;This study aimed to compare the FastFung broth (FFB) to modified Dixon broth (mDIXB) for the in vitro AFST of Malassezia spp. Fluconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole and terbinafine MICs against a 19 Malassezia strains, including 6&amp;nbsp;M furfur, 4&amp;nbsp;M pachydermatis, 5&amp;nbsp;M sympodialis and 4&amp;nbsp;M slooffiae.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The essential agreement (EA) between the two assays, and the intra- and inter-laboratory agreement of each assay were assessed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The MIC data obtained in our study were comparable to those reported in the literature. FFB showed to enhance Malassezia growth and displayed 100% (±2-fold dilution) EAs demonstrating similar performances to mDIXB. In addition, the MIC data obtained by using the FFB were reproducible between laboratories with EAs ranging from 94.7% to 100%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Therefore, FFB is a suitable alternative to mDXB for Malassezia spp. AFST.&lt;/p&gt;
