FLUID SABOURAUD MEDIUM (SABOURAUD MEDIUM, FLUID) (VEG.)

Fluid Sabouraud Veg Medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones that makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Fluid Sabouraud Veg Medium is the modification of medium based on the formulation described by Sabouraud for the cultivation of moulds, particularly useful for detecting fungi associated with skin infections.
Some pathogenic fungi may produce infective spores which are easily dispersed in air, so examination should be carried out in a safety cabinet.
Fluid Sabouraud Veg Medium is recommended for the sterility testing of pharmaceutical preparation. Product to be tested and a positive control is incubated together for 10 days. If the growth is comparable, the product is considered non-fungistatic. If the product is fungistatic, larger ratio of medium to product is used or suitable sterile inactivating agent is added.
