• Recommended for selective isolation of pathogenic yeasts and molds such as Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida spp., and Aspergillus from sources contaminated with bacteria^2,3

This medium contains casein and meat peptones that supply nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, and peptides necessary for the growth of fungi. Dextrose, starch, and dextrin are ready sources of energy. Sodium chloride and metallic salts provide essential electrolytes that help to maintain osmotic equilibrium. Yeast extract acts as a source of vitamins. Chloramphenicol is the antibiotic that acts as a selective agent and inhibits the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
