What are the precautions during preparation of bacterial smear and heat -fixing process?

During the preparation of a bacterial smear, it is crucial to use sterile techniques to avoid contamination. Use a sterile inoculating loop to transfer a small amount of culture onto a clean slide, and ensure the smear is thin and evenly spread. When heat-fixing, gently pass the slide through a flame to adhere the bacteria to the slide without burning them, as excessive heat can distort cellular structures. Always wear gloves and goggles to protect yourself from potential biohazards.
