S2Media™ Salt Sabouraud Dulcitol Broth (SSDB) w/Chloramphenicol & Gentamicin
S2Media™ prepared Salt Sabouraud Dulcitol Broth (SSDB) with Chloramphenicol and Gentamicin, is a selective enrichment medium intended for the recovery and isolation of Candida auris, from complex skin and surveillance specimens. Sabouraud Salt Dulcitol Broth (SSDB) supports selective enrichment of C. auris, while subsequent subculture to Salt Sabouraud Dulcitol Agar or Chameleon™ COLOREX™ Candida Plus, supports isolation of colonies for confirmatory identification. High sodium chloride concentrations combined with chloramphenicol and gentamicin suppress competing background flora while supporting C. auris recovery. The formulations are based on CDC-recommended culture methods for C. auris screening and are selective but not differential. All enrichment cultures should be subcultured following incubation, including cultures without visible turbidity, as the absence of turbidity does not preclude the presence of C. auris. Presumptive isolates should be confirmed to species using an appropriate validated identification method.
