sir, thank you for your videos, can I make an approach with the odour of the culture? You know, fruits scent vs pseudomonas, semen like vs moraxella, bread vs candida, I just discovered this channel and it is very useful for me. Thank you very much!
Hi Yo, I cannot tell people on this channel to smell microbiology cultures since that is a biohazard. However, besides the smells you have mentioned, I am only aware of Proteus mirabilis smelling like chocolate cake. I used to work with a microbiologist who would smell everything and had quite a catalog of smells/organisms. It was amazing.
I don't know that they looking for Gardnerella vaginalis from throat culture. But in Genital culture, if you see the pin point small looking in blood plate, do gram stain, if it graM VARIABLE rod and oxidase and catalase neg=> presumptive GV.
There was no specific pathogen identified in the video. There is possible Haemophilus influenzae on the chocolate plate, but I would need to do a Gram stain first to see if the suspicious colonies are Gram-negative rods.

Have u isolated Gardnerella vaginalis from a throat swab culture?
I don't know that they looking for Gardnerella vaginalis from throat culture. But in Genital culture, if you see the pin point small looking in blood plate, do gram stain, if it graM VARIABLE rod and oxidase and catalase neg=> presumptive GV.
Thank you... But what was the pathogen then??
There was no specific pathogen identified in the video. There is possible Haemophilus influenzae on the chocolate plate, but I would need to do a Gram stain first to see if the suspicious colonies are Gram-negative rods.
