What are the five basic techniques Microbiologists use to manipulate, grow, examine, and characterize MOs Inoculation; Incubation; Isolation; Inspection; Identification Sterile Complete absence of viable microbe Aspetic Prevention of infection or contamination Pure culture Growth of single species of microbe Inoculation Producing a culture by introducing sample into sterile medium that will sustain growth. Can be taken from blood, CSF, discharge, disease tissues, soil, water, sewage, foods, ...
