Day 5

Unfortunately, after opening the microaerobic jar I noticed that some of the agars had been contaminated by other bacteria. I was using BHIYE agar (x2), BHIYE-chocolate agar (x 2) and CHBHP agar (x 2), among them BHIYE agars were heavily contaminated by unknown species. I'll check what they are with Gram's stain some time. contaminated agar Apparently I do need antibiotics for inhibiting those contaminants. I'll add vancomycin, polymyxin and trimethoprim into the agars next time.
