===Bacterial Culture===
   −
As  noted above, the selection of the culture medium, atmospheric  conditions and pH are among many variables that need to be considered  for the successful culture of bacteria in the lab. A routine culture  undertaken involves using a combination of blood agar (see below) and  MacConkey agar (see below) together with incubation for between  24-48hours. Blood agar is able top support most pathogenic species of  bacteria and is usually appropriate for routine primary isolation.  Selective media is then normally used for particular organisms.
