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.
Apparently I do need antibiotics for inhibiting those contaminants. I'll add vancomycin, polymyxin and trimethoprim into the agars next time.
