Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (Emmons) is a modification of the original medium developed by Sabouraud in 1892¹. Emmons neutralized the pH, increasing it to 7.0, and reduced the concentration of dextrose from 40 to 20g/L². Gentamicin is added to the medium to make it inhibitory to bacterial overgrowth while allowing isolation of pathogenic fungi³.
