Description
MODEL RELEASED. Bacteria research. Stacks of petri dishes containing blood agar for the culture of bacteria from medical samples. This is a general purpose agar that is used by technicians in microbiology laboratories for routine culture procedures. It supports the growth of most medically-significant bacteria, such as those that cause eye and chest infections. Blood agar is usually used for preliminary identifications, after which more specific agar media are used to identify particular strains of bacteria. The strain of bacteria found will determine the type of antibiotic that can be given to a patient to fight an infection.
