Re: need help with culture results/TORSTEN

[Guest guest]

Well, there are jusst lots of gram-negative rods, and if the culture out only

ONE, they

may label that one even though many others are growing, too, but have not been

identified. It depends on the method, the agar, the length of time. Most

people whom

I personally know wcf grow several gram negative and several gram positive

" bugs "

if the cultures are done well and allowed to grow out long enough. But that its

only

ONE view of it. I could send you a beig, long link on it, but I think that that

is about

the short of it. Love to all of you, and a great new year! n
