  1. Cultivation of baceria By Dr. Emad AbdElhameed Morad Lecturer of Medical Microbiology and Immunology

  2. INOCULATION PROCEDURES • Plating out technique: • Aims at spreading out the bacteria on the surface of the medium. • Each bacterium will divide to give a separate colony. • The loop is sterilized and loaded with the bacterial mixture present in the culture or the specimen. Then, it is smeared over area A to give the main inoculum. • The loop is then sterilized and after cooling, drawn into three parallel lines B across a fresh part of the medium. • The procedure is repeated as shown in the figure. • The plate is incubated at 37 degree for 24 hours. Dr. Emad AbdElhameed Morad

  4. Subculture: • Subculture is a term which means transferring bacteria from one culture to another culture. • Is done for purification of cultures containing mixture of bacteria. • Done by picking one colony from a culture plate by the sterile loop and inoculating it on another fresh culture plate. • By this, pure cultures are obtained which could be used in identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing.
