Directions
Either streak, inoculate or surface spread the test inoculum (50-100 CFU) aseptically on the plate.
Principle And Interpretation
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is is described by Sabouraud (7) for the cultivation of fungi (yeasts, moulds), particularly
useful for the fungi associated with skin infections. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is Carlier's modification (3). This
medium is also employed to determine microbial contamination in food, cosmetics, and clinical specimens (2).
Mycological peptone provides nitrogenous compounds. Dextrose provides an energy source. High dextrose concentration
and low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from test samples (6). Chloramphenicol and
Gentamicin inhibits most of the bacterial contaminants.
Type of specimen
Clinical samples: skin scrapings, Food samples, Cosmetics samples.
Limitations
1. Individual strain of a microorganism may have unique growth requirements with respect to nutrients and physical
conditions. Based on which the growth pattern of each varies on a medium and some even may display significant delay.
2. Some pathogenic fungi may produce infective spores which are easily dispersed in air, so examination should be
carried out in safety cabinet.
3. Each lot of the medium has been tested for the organisms specified on the COA. It is recommended to users to validate
the medium for any specific microorganism other than mentioned in the COA based on the user’s unique requirement.
4. Further biochemical tests should be carried out for complete identification.
