General

Sabouraud Dextrose Contact Agar + Chloramphenicol - RT+ is designed for the determination of the total count of yeasts and molds on dry surfaces and personnel in controlled environments and for Room Temperature storage.

Mode of action

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of yeasts and molds.

The high concentration of Dextrose in addition with the low pH promotes the growth, the formation of spores (conidia and sporangia) as well as the formation of pigments of yeasts and molds. On the other side the growth of bacteria is inhibited. The addition of chloramphenicol will further inhibit the growth of the accompanying bacterial flora.
