How should specimens for anaerobic bacteria culture be transported to the lab?
GaleEncyofSurgery
Tissue samples should be placed into a degassed bag and sealed, or into a gassed out screw top vial that may contain oxygen-free prereduced culture medium and tightly capped. The specimens should be plated as rapidly as possible onto culture media

How would you define pure culture sterile culture and contamination in the culture and isolation of bacteria?
A pure culture contains only one bacteria and no other. A sterile culture has only one bacteria in it and is usually used for transport. Contamination is something that doesn't belong. It can even be a small bit of plastic or wire. It is the opposite of a pure culture. The whole idea when working with isolating bacteria is to figure out which bacteria (or microbe) is causing an infection or disease in a patient. Your job is to help to figure this out so that the proper treatment can be started as soon as possible.

What does ARD stand for in a blood culture?
ARD stands for aerobic/anaerobic blood culture bottles, which refers to the type of bottles used to collect blood samples for culture. Aerobic bottles allow for the growth of bacteria in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic bottles allow for the growth of bacteria in the absence of oxygen.
Why should swabs be avoided when collecting specimens for anaerobic culture?
cotton fibers may be detrimental to anaerobes. Abscesses or fluids can be aspirated using a sterile syringe that is then tightly capped to prevent entry of air.
Describe two methods for obtaining an anaerobic atmosphere for culture?
Anaerobic ChambersAnaerobic JarsAnaerobic Bag or Pouch
What does FAN on a blood culture bottle mean?
It may depend on the brand of blood culture bottles, but there are generally 2 types of bottles drawn on an adult patient; one to culture aerobic organisms and one for anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms. Anaerobic organisms require no oxygen for growth. Facultative means the organism seems to do better under anaerobic conditions. AN for anaerobic...perhaps the F means facultatively.
How is wound culture transported to lab?
On ice
What are the aerobic and anaerobic culture media?

Can all bacteria grow on culture?
No, not all bacteria can grow on a culture. Some bacteria require extreme environmental factors to grow, and survive, which you can't really try on a culture plate.
What is the difference between an aerobic and an anaerobic culture?
Aerobic needs oxygen to grow.
What is collective noun of bacteria?
