ABSTRACT

The study suggests a new culture medium, of the Sabouraud type. The medium was tested for its nutritive and recovery properties of the fungi in clinical samples, in parallel to the classical medium Sabouraud with chloramphenicol (Sab. + C). The results obtained showed the following the I.F.C. + C medium ensures optimum cultivation conditions of some fungi species, potentially pathogenic for man, has a high selectivity and the ability of making evident the fungi in different clinical samples at very near-related parameters practically identical with the parameters of the classical Sabouraud medium. These qualities, completed by the economical advantages and the availability of the raw material necessary for the preparation of the basic vegetal extract, recommend the use of the I.F.C. + C medium as a nutrient medium for isolation and cultivation of fungi.
