SABOURAUD DEXTROSE AGAR (SDA) + CAF

APPLICATION

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a non selective isolation medium used for the growth and maintenance of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi from clinical and non-clinical specimens. It is also used for recovery and total counting of yeasts and moulds in environmental monitoring. The high concentration of dextrose and the acidic pH of the medium permit selectivity of fungi. Chloramphenicol increases bacterial inhibition and recovery of dermatophytes.

This medium complies with the recommendations of the harmonized method in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP).
