Swabbing Noses
Class: Thursday, November 7
To continue with our practice as future nurses swabbing various parts of the body, we practiced swabbing noses today!
We would grow the swab results in a blood culture and grow them, to check for Staphylococcus aureus infections.

| Our results! |
To test positive for a Staph infection, there would be lyses (holes) surround the bacteria growth into the blood agar, as well as a yellowish color of the bacteria. Both students tested negative for Staph infections.
