AGAR MEDIUM C (SABOURAUD-GLUCOSE AGAR WITH CHLORAMPHENICOL) (as per EP/BP)

Sabouraud Glucose Agar w/Chloramphenicol is cited as Medium C and recommended for cultivation of yeasts and moulds by European Pharmacopoeia. This medium was described originally by Sabouraud for the cultivation of fungi, particularly useful for the fungi associated with skin infections. The medium is often used with antibiotics such as Chloramphenicol for the isolation of pathogenic fungi from materials containing large numbers of fungi or bacteria. Some pathogenic fungi may produce infective spores which are easily dispersed in air, so examination should be carried out in safety cabinet.
