Fungal MediaMycosel Agar
Mycosel Agar
Overview
Mycosel Agar is a specialized culture medium formulated to selectively isolate and cultivate dermatophytes. It is derived from Mycophil Agar, a nutrient-rich base, with the addition of cycloheximide and chloramphenicol to inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms, such as bacteria and saprophytic fungi. This selective action enhances the isolation and recovery of dermatophytes from various clinical specimens, making Mycosel Agar an essential tool in the mycological laboratory for the diagnosis of fungal infections.
Intended Use
For the isolation and cultivation of dermatophytes.
