Fluid Sabouraud Medium is recommended for use as a sterility testing medium for moulds and lower bacteria in pharmaceutical preparations and clinical samples. It is based on the formulation described by Sabouraud for the cultivation of yeasts, moulds and aciduric microorganisms, particularly useful for the fungi associated with skin infections. It is recommended for use as a sterility testing medium for moulds and lower bacteria. This mycological sterility testing medium is in accordance with USP and the FDA for the determination of fungistatic activity of pharmaceutical products to avoid false sterility tests. The acid reaction of the medium is inhibitory to a large number of bacteria and makes the medium particularly well suited for cultivating fungi and acidophilic microorganisms. Tryptone and peptone provide nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds, long chain amino acids, vitamins and other essential nutrients. Dextrose is the energy source. The low pH favours fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from clinical specimens. Some pathogenic fungi may produce infective spores, which are easily dispersed in air, so examination should be carried out in a safety cabinet. For isolation of fungi from potentially contaminated specimens, a selective medium should be inoculated along with the non-selective medium.
