1.1.1 Cultivation of bacteria Flashcards
Process of growing microorganisms in culture by taking bacteria from in vivo (Infection site) to In vitro environment (Artificial environment)
Bacterial cultivation
What is in vivo environment in Bacterial cultivation?
Infection site
What is in vitro environment in Bacterial cultivation?
Artificial environment that mimics in vivo
What are the main purpose of Bacterial Cultivation
To grow and isolate
To determine which bacteria that grow that causes infection
