Selective antibiotics inhibit gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and rapid-growing saprophytic molds for focused dermatophyte isolation
Dermatophyte metabolites produce alkaline by-products, causing phenol red to change from yellow to pink or red for rapid presumptive identification
Optimized formula ensures consistent dermatophyte recovery and reliable performance
Free-flowing dehydrated powder form allows easy preparation and aseptic pouring into petri dishes
