The media that are used to culture
Introduction:
The media that are used commonly for the fungal culture are Sabouraud agar dextrose, malt extract and less commonly known infusion extract. Chloramphenicol is used to avoid any type of contamination by bacteria but prevents the growth of Actinomyces.
