Clinical specimens cultured on two selective fungal media, inhibitory mold agar (IMA) and Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), were compared with respect to recovery of fungi. Of the 840 fungal isolates recovered, 69.3% grew on both IMA and SDA; 24.9% grew only on IMA; and 5.8% grew only on SDA, showing that IMA is superior (P=0.003).
临床标本分别在两种选择性真菌培养基(抑菌霉菌琼脂[IMA]和沙氏葡萄糖琼脂[SDA])上进行培养,比较真菌的回收情况。在回收的 840 株真菌分离物中,69.3%在 IMA 和 SDA 上均生长;24.9%仅在 IMA 上生长;5.8%仅在 SDA 上生长,表明 IMA 更优(P=0.003)。
