    Antibiotics such as cycloheximide are frequently added to sabouraud agar for isolating fungi from clinical samples because most fungi grows and multiply slowly at least compared with bacteria that grows rapidly after 24hours. Incorporation of antibiotics into the agar will prevent the growth of bacteria and also other environmental fungal such as Aspergillus spp.
