Status of Bacterial Colony Isolation in Teaching Institutions–Comparison between Conventional method and its modifications

Dr. Nilotpal Banerjee

Abstract :

Aim– The isolation of bacterial colony in solid media has always been the attention in Microbiology. Quantity as well as quality of isolations have been the primary focus for study.

Materials and Method – 100 specimens of urine were processed by conventional as well as self modified method of streaking to study the difference in quality and quantity of isolated colonies.

Result – The modified streaking method offered better result in colony isolation both quantitatively and qualitatively, after standard overnight incubation.

Conclusion – The modified method of streak culture was proved superior. The method needs no extra resource and expertise for adoption, but a modified practice for studying delight for teachers and learners.
