When doctors are trying to determine what bacteria is causing an illness they sometime get a sample from the person and swab it on a shallow glass dish that contains a material the bacteria like and grow on. Once the bacteria has grown into colonies technicians look at them under a microscope to determine what the bacteria is. The process of growing the colonies of bacteria is called culturing
