It was reported that while using bd bbl¿ sabouraud dextrose agar slants with chloramphenicol that there was overgrowth.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: sabouraud tubes for dermatophyte-type fungi grown, quite frequently show bacterial overgrowth.Sabouraud dextrose chloramphenicol tubes for the detection of the growth of dermatophyte-type fungi, quite frequently present bacterial overgrowth a few days after being incubated, so the isolated culture of the fungi is done more difficult and delays the issuance of results.
