for which sample type would an isolation streak plate be most beneficial ? option - 1. blood 2. urine . 3. cerebral spinal fluid 3. sputum ( please explain in 200 word )​

Answer 1

Answer:

4). Sputum.

Explanation:

Microbiology laboratories commonly receive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood specimens from patients with meningitis, pneumonia, or unexplained febrile illness. Laboratories may also receive joint fluid, pleural fluid, or other sterile site specimens from these patients. Presumptive identification of N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae, and H. influenzae can be made on the basis of a cytological examination of the CSF, specific colony morphology on blood and/or chocolate agar, staining properties on a Gram stain, or by detection of specific antigens in the CSF by a latex agglutination test or using a rapid diagnostic test (RDT)
