Malassezia species causes skin disorders to systemic infections. Epidemiological cutoff value (ECV) allows for differentiation of wild-type and non wild-type isolates. Based on MIC data of 160 isolates we propose tentative ECVs for three Malassezia species. ECVs are useful in surveillance and guide therapy decisions.
