Inhibitory Mold Agar with Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol

Isolate and cultivate Histoplasma capsulatum, dermatophytes, and other pathogenic fungi with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Inhibitory Mold Agar with Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol. Inhibitory Mold Agar was formulated by Ulrich as a general purpose medium for cultivation of fungi¹. It is also recommended for selective isolation of pathogenic yeasts and molds (e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma capulatum, and Trichophyton spp) from clinical specimens contaminated with commensal microbial flora^{2, 3}.

Use Inhibitory Mold Agar with Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol for isolation and cultivation of Histoplasma capsulatum, dermatophytes, and other pathogenic fungi.

• Selective: gentamicin and chloramphenicol act as selective agents. Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic which inhibits many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while gentamicin inhibits commensal microbial flora.
• Ready-to-use: convenience of prepared media.

Casein and meat peptones supply nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, and peptides necessary for the growth of fungi. Dextrose, starch, and dextrin are ready sources of energy. Sodium chloride and metallic salts are essential electrolytes and help to maintain osmotic equilibrium. Yeast extract is a source of vitamins.
