4.   Why should a Petri dish not be left open for any extended period?

5.   Why does the streaking method you used to inoculate your plates result in isolated colonies?

Exercise 5: Pour plate and streaking technique to obtain pure cultures

1.   Discuss the relative convenience of pour- and streak-plate techniques in culturing clinical specimens.

2.   How do you decide which colonies should be picked from a plate culture of a mixed flora?

3.   Why is it necessary to make pure subcultures of organisms grown from clinical specimens?

4.   What kinds of clinical specimens may yield a mixed flora in bacterial cultures?
