Description
Dermatophyte Test Medium) For the isolation and identification of dermatophytic fungi such as Microsporum canis, the causative agent of ringworm. It is also designed to detect dermatophytes such as Epidermophyton and Trichophyton spp. The addition of Gentamicin and Chlortetracycline act as broad spectrum antimicrobics to inhibit a wide range of interfering gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Cycloheximide is added to inhibit saprophytic non-pathogenic fungi. Phenol red, the pH indicator, is affected by the presence of dermatophytes (Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton spp.), which all produce alkaline metabolites.
