Sabouraud Dextrose (SDA) Agar with Cycloheximide

Sabouraud Dextrose (SDA) Agar with Cycloheximide is used for the selective isolation and cultivation of pathogenic fungi, particularly dermatophytes. Cycloheximide inhibits the growth of saprophytic fungi, allowing pathogenic fungi to thrive. This makes it especially useful in clinical settings for diagnosing fungal infections.
