Ensuring that your culture is pure is very important to getting accurate results of your gram stain. One way to tell if your culture is pure is to test both the control and the experiment cultures.

Reason for culture coming back negative on cellulitis?
Cultures look for bacterial growth. And thus in order for bacteria to grow in a given culture medium LIVE bacteria are needed. Depending on the mechanism for obtaining a sample, and the sample placed in the culture medium (i.e. swab, probe, biopsy, blood, etc.) the probability of obtaining live bacteria varies. Pus that usually accompanies an infection is composed of dead bacteria within white blood cells. And thus the swab of a skin wound full of pus is UNlikely to yield a positive (defined by bacterial growth in the culture medium) result. In short live bacteria is needed for a culture to be reported as positive. Not all samples taken for culture contain live bacteria, even in the presence of an infection (it is just the live bacteria are too deep to be accessed by the sampling technique used. I hope this answers your question. Sincerely, Matthew C. Lee, MD, RPh, MS

The glia is the "glue of the brain" as stated above (consisting of astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes), however gliosis is the brains form of a scar.
