Significance of Culture plates
Culture plates are Petri dishes containing a nutrient medium utilized in microbiological research for the growth and analysis of microorganisms. Specifically, they are employed to grow and isolate bacterial colonies, often from urine samples. Various types of culture plates, such as Blood agar, MacConkey agar, Cystine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient agar (CLED), and Urichrome agar, are used in laboratories to facilitate the examination of bacteria in clinical settings.
