Culture media required for microorganism growth

As we will have to prepare the media culture for growing of the possible microorganisms, we have gathered information on the possible microorganisms and its corresponding appropriate culture media. This is summarised in the tables below.

For UTI cases (Patient 1,3 and 5) – Urine specimen [information gathered by Syafiqah & Samantha]


For enterocolitis case (patient 2 -Kwan Siew Lan ) [information gathered by Yasmin]


For food poisoning case (patient 4 - Ng Ming En) [8]

    Thanks for this helpful information.
    The most well-known growth media for microorganisms are supplement soups and agar plates; specific media are once in a while required for microorganisms and cell culture growth.
