The only culture medium I know are called petri dishes. The bottom is coated with a media that encourages growth, if any bacteria are present in the specimen. The petri dish remains covered/closed and placed in an area that incubates the specimen. IF bacteria are present, it will grow and multiply into colonies often big enough to see with the naked eye, i.e. without a microscope.

What is beta hemaletic?

Beta-hemolytic bacteria are a classification of bacteria that can lyse red blood cells, leading to the complete breakdown of hemoglobin and a clear zone around colonies when grown on blood agar plates. This hemolytic activity is primarily associated with certain groups of streptococci, such as Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae. These bacteria are often linked to various infections, including strep throat and skin infections. The identification of beta-hemolytic bacteria is important for diagnosis and treatment of these infections.


How do bacteria cause an illness as food poisoning?

Food pisoning is most often caused by toxic substances that bacteria found in food produce. The bacteria have grown and multiplied in the food, most often if the food is stored at a certain temperature that must not be too low or too high. The toxins are sometimes produced when the bacteria grow and multiply in the food before eating it. Other times the bacteria produce the toxins when they grow and multiply further inside the stomach and intestines after the food has been eaten.

Is fellatio medically safe?

Yes, oral sex is medically safe if you use a condom. It is medically unsafe if a person has HIV-AIDS or an STD. However, since many STDS and HIV-AIDS often do not show symptoms, just the absence of symptoms does not mean a man is medically 'clean' and therefore, oral sex without protection is technically never 'safe'.

When the bacteria serratia Marcescens is grown on a sterile?

When the bacteria Serratia marcescens is grown on a sterile plate, it typically forms red-pigmented colonies due to the production of a red pigment called prodigiosin. This bacterium is known for its ability to survive in a wide range of environments and is often used as a model organism in microbiology research. Its red coloration makes it easy to identify and study in laboratory settings.
