The 13 pages that link to Bacterial culture, each with the reason it gives.

• Gram-positive bacteriaRelated: Cultured isolates can be examined by Gram stain as an early identification step.

• BacteriologyRelated: Culturing produces material for observation and experimental testing.

• FolliculitisRelated: A culture from a pustule can identify bacteria when infection is recurrent or treatment-resistant.

• Bacterial infectionRelated: Culture can identify the cause and guide targeted treatment when a suitable sample is available.

• Bacillus cereusRelated: Culture helps distinguish Bacillus cereus from other organisms in food and clinical samples.

• Bacterial morphologyRelated: Cultures provide cells for consistent morphological examination.

• Klebsiella pneumoniaeRelated: Cultures can identify Klebsiella pneumoniae in blood, urine, sputum, or other samples.

• Skin infectionRelated: Cultures can identify the cause when an infected wound or abscess is sampled.

• StreptococcusRelated: Throat and blood cultures can confirm suspected streptococcal infections.

• Bordetella pertussisRelated: Culture can confirm infection and provide an isolate, though it is less sensitive later in illness.

• NeisseriaRelated: Culture can identify Neisseria and provide isolates for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

• Pathogenic bacteriaRelated: Culture can isolate a suspected pathogen and reveal its antimicrobial susceptibility.

• Antibiotic sensitivity testingRelated: Susceptibility tests usually begin with a cultured isolate.
