It is a selective and differential medium for detection and identification of dermatophytes. On this medium identification of Dermatophytes are based on morphology and alkaline metabolites production. A combination of three antimicrobial agents (cycloheximide, chlortetracycline and gentamicin) inhibits bacteria and saprophytic yeasts and molds. Dermatophytes are presumptively identified based on gross morphology and the production of alkaline metabolites, which raise the pH and cause the phenol red indicator to change the color of the medium from yellow to pink-red. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis for Invitro Diagnostic Use Appearance: Light yellow to pink homogeneous free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 2.0% agar gel Color and Clarity of prepared medium: Orange red colored, slightly opalescent gel forms in Petri plates Reaction: Reaction of 4% w/v aqueous solution at 25 deg C. pH : 5.5±0.2
