Dermatophytes are fungi in the genera Microsporum, Tricophyton and Epidermophyton. They are capable of metabolizing keratin found in skin, hair and nails of living hosts. The fungi characteristically may invade the cutaneous tissue of the living host but rarely penetrate the subcutaneous tissue. Tinea and ringworm are two terms commonly used to describe dermatophytes. InTray DM is formulated to produce a red color in the presence of growing dermatophytes.
Moreover, the medium is formulated to produce distinctive colony growth with typical identifying characteristics both macro and microscopically. The medium inhibits most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and saprophytic fungi.
It is a single exposure system with dynamic built-in components and features that are designed for user compatibility and ease of detection.
