Aspergillus sp. growing in potato dextrose agar Potato dextrose agar (BAM Media M127) and potato dextrose broth are common microbiological growth media made from potato infusion and dextrose. Potato dextrose agar (abbreviated "PDA") is the most widely used medium for growing fungi and bacteria. PDA has the capability to culture various bacteria and fungi found in the soil. This agar can be ...
Sabouraud agar or Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) is a type of agar growth medium containing peptones. [1] It is used to cultivate dermatophytes and other types of fungi, and can also grow filamentous bacteria such as Nocardia. [2][3][4] It has utility for research and clinical care. It was created by, and is named after, Raymond Sabouraud in 1892.
Microsporum audouinii is an anthropophilic fungus in the genus Microsporum. [1] It is a type of dermatophyte that colonizes keratinized tissues (primarily hair) causing infection. [2] The fungus is characterized by its spindle-shaped macroconidia (7–30 × 35–160 μm), clavate microconidia (2.5–3.5 × 4–7 μm) as well as its pitted or ...
Two growth media that help distinguish M. canis from other Microsporum spp. (notably the morphologically similar species, M. audouinii) - specifically polished rice and potato dextrose agar. [4] On potato dextrose agar, M. canis produces a lemon-yellow pigment that is easily visualized, due to the presence of aerial hyphae, while on the ...
Chloramphenicol. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. [5] This includes use as an eye ointment to treat conjunctivitis. [6] By mouth or by injection into a vein, it is used to treat meningitis, plague, cholera, and typhoid fever. [5] Its use by mouth or by injection is only recommended ...
An agar plate – an example of a bacterial growth medium*: Specifically, it is a streak plate; the orange lines and dots are formed by bacterial colonies.. A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation [1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens. [2]
Dermatophyte test medium (DTM) is a specialized agar used in medical mycology. [ 1][ 2] It is based on Sabouraud's dextrose agar with added cycloheximide to inhibit saprotrophic growth, antibiotic to inhibit bacterial growth, and phenol red a pH indicator. The pH indicator is useful in distinguishing a dermatophyte fungus, which utilizes ...
