LESSON 10: CULTURE METHODS Flashcards
-is the population of bacteria grown in the laboratory.
CULTURE
-contains one single type of bacteria.
PURE CULTURE
-contain two or more different bacteria.
MIXED CULTURE
-where bacterial cultures must be periodically transferred to a new media to keep bacterial population growing.
SUBCULTURE
-means using practices and procedures to
prevent contamination from pathogens.
ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE
-the most effective way to isolate a single type of
bacteria from a source that contains many by diluting the individual cells by spreading them over the surface of an agar plate using a platinum or inoculating loop of 2-4 mm diameter.
STREAK PLATE METHOD
-also called as CARPET CULTURE
LAWN CULTURE
lawn culture is used for 3 reasons:
- ANTIBIOTIC SUSPECTIBILITY TESTING by diffusion method
- BACTERIOPHAGE TYPING
- preparations of BACTERIAL ANTIGENS & VACCINES
-Stroke culture provides a PURE GROWTH of bacteria for carrying out slide agglutination and other diagnostic test, it’s carried in TUBES containing slanted nutrient agar slopes.
STAB CULTURE
- is used to determine approximate
number of viable organisms in liquids, suchs as water or urine.
POUR PLATE CULTURE
-a deep culture of agar or gelatin through which the inoculum is evenly distributed by shaking before the medium is solidified and which is used chiefly for the demonstration of anaerobic colonies.
SHAKE CULTURE
-this culture not provide a pure culture from mixed inocula—the major disadvantage, nor identify a bacteria
LIQUID CULTURE
-liquid culure can be used for:
- BLOOD CULTURE
- DILTUION IN THE MEDIUM
- LARGE YIELDS CULTURE
in aerobic culture this organism requires CO2 w/ 5-10% in in the air in which they are grown.
1.Brucella abortus
2.Capnophilic streptococci
3. Pneumococcus
4. Gonococcus
Aerobic culture done in an incubator under normal atmospheric condition, what is the standar practice temperature?
37 degree celsius
