DTM plate on the right showing color change after two days' growth; Microsporum canis Dermatophyte test medium (DTM) is a specialized agar used in medical mycology. [1] [2] It is based on Sabouraud's dextrose agar with added cycloheximide to inhibit saprotrophic growth, antibiotic to inhibit bacterial growth, and phenol red a pH indicator.
