Principle And Interpretation
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is Carliers modifications (1) of the formulation described by Sabouraud (2) for the cultivation of fungi, particularly those associated with skin infections. The medium is also recommended by APHA (3). Sabouraud Dextrose Broth is also a modification by Sabouraud (4) and serves the same purpose as Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Medium 3.
Sabouraud dextrose media are peptone media supplemented with dextrose to support the growth of fungi. Peptone special provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and growth factors. Dextrose (Glucose) provides an energy source for the growth of microorganisms. The low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from clinical specimens (5). The acid reaction of the final medium is inhibitory to a large number of bacteria making it particularly useful for cultivating fungi and aciduric microorganisms. For isolation of fungi from contaminated specimens, a selective medium should be inoculated simultaneously. Incubate cultures for 4 to 6 weeks before reporting as negative.
Type of specimen
Clinical samples: skin lesions, oral lesions, oropharyngeal swabs, vaginal secretions, urine, skin and nail scrapings, urine etc.
Specimen Collection and Handling
For clinical samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (6,7).
After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
In Vitro diagnostic use only. For professional use only. Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling clinical specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Some fungi may show poor growth due to nutritional variations.
- Further isolation and biochemical tests should be carried out for confirmation.
