Description

Facilitate selective and differential isolation of pathogenic fungi from cutaneous sources using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Dermatophyte Test Medium (DermaTube). This medium was formulated by Taplin et al. for use in locations where specialized training and microscopic examination is not available1. A pH indicator and three antimicrobial agents are incorporated into the agar to provide a differential and selective medium for isolation of dermatophytes belonging to the genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, or Epidermophyton.

The dermatophytes are fungi that possess keratinolytic properties that enable them to invade skin, nails and hair2. The infections caused by these organisms are commonly referred to as ringworm and are classified by the Latin word tinea followed by the area of the body infected3. Facilitate selective and differential isolation of pathogenic fungi from cutaneous sources using Dermatophyte Test Medium (DermaTube).

  • Ready to Use: Convenience of prepared media.
  • Selective: Cyclohexamide, chloramphenicol, and gentamycin are selective agents which inhibit most saprophytic fungi and many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including some Pseudomonas.
  • Ease to identify: Phenol red is a pH indicator which detects alkaline metabolites produced by dermatophytes, resulting in a red color development of the medium.

This medium is recommended for use in qualitative procedures. This medium contains soy peptones that supply the nitrogen and carbon compounds necessary for the growth of microorganisms. Dextrose is an energy source.
