El medio de Kaminski adicionado con nistatina para el aislamiento de dermatofitos y otros hongos patogenos

Three culture media with different composition (Mycobiotic agar, Kaminski agarand Kaminski agar modified with nystatin) were evaluated for isolation of dermatophytes and reisolation of S. schenckiiand dematiaceous fungi. One hundred and fifty specimens of cases suspicious of dermatophytosis, as well as 30 strains of S. schenckiiand 10 of chromoblatomycosis agents were studied. The modified Kaminski agar was efficient for the isolation and reisolation of the tested agents, in spite of its greater contamination rate; It was equally adequate for isolation of Candida species.
