What is Sabouraud Dextrose broth?

Sabouraud Dextrose liquid media, commonly referred to as Sabouraud Dextrose broth, is formulated with peptones and a high concentration of dextrose to promote robust fungal growth. The slightly acidic pH of Sabouraud Dextrose broth helps suppress many bacterial contaminants while supporting the growth of a wide range of yeasts and molds.


Sabouraud Dextrose liquid media is commonly used to culture Candida species, Aspergillus species, dermatophytes, and other clinically and environmentally relevant fungi. Because of its consistent composition and reliable growth performance, Sabouraud Dextrose broth is a foundational medium for fungal enrichment, contamination testing, and downstream identification workflows.
