There are several types of cultures used in clinical microbiology:
- Agar Plate Cultures: Used for isolating and identifying bacteria. - Broth Cultures: Liquid media that supports the growth of bacteria and is used for further testing. - Selective Cultures: Media that supports the growth of specific types of microorganisms while inhibiting others. - Differential Cultures: Media that differentiates between different types of microorganisms based on their biological characteristics.
