A comparison of the E test, the broth microdilution test, and the reference broth macrodilution susceptibility test of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for fluconazole susceptibility testing was performed with 238 clinical isolates of Candida species and Torulopsis (Candida) glabrata. An 80% inhibition endpoint MIC was determined by the reference broth macrodilution method after 48 h of incubation. The MICs obtained by the two study methods were read after 24 and 48 h of incubation. Overall, excellent agreement within 2 doubling dilutions was obtained between the broth microdilution and the broth macrodilution methods for the combined results for all species at both 24 h (93%) and 48 h (94%). The correlation of 24-h MIC endpoints between the E test and the broth macrodilution methods was 37% for T. glabrata, 56% for Candida tropicalis, 93% for Candida albicans, and 90% for other Candida species. The percent agreement at 48 h ranged from 34% for T. glabrata to 97% for Candida species other than C. albicans and C. tropicalis. These initial results support the further evaluation of the E test as an alternative method for fluconazole susceptibility testing of Candida species.
