Question
Chapter 6, Problem 2VI
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The type of hemolysis shown by the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in the given figure.
Introduction:
Culturing microbes have helped in understanding more about specific diseases and isolation of causative agents. Microbial cultures are grown on liquid (broth) or solid media. For culturing fastidious microbes that need specific nutrients to grow and for differentiation of microbes that lyse blood cells, blood agar media is used that consist of blood cells.
