This is a modification of Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. The low pH (5.6) of the medium is inhibitory to most bacteria and it has been made specifically selective by the addition of colistin and gentamicin. This further reduces the risk of bacterial contamination when processing material that may be heavily contaminated particularly with Gram negative organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
