Incubators are designed to supply all of the necessary environmental factors needed to grow bacteria or cells.

If doctors needed to identify a particular bacterial infection, and which antibiotics the bacteria would be susceptible to, they would:

1- take a sample of bacteria from their patient's wound

2- place it on a Petri dish with appropriate nutrients
