A catheterized urine was processed and the resulting culture sheep blood and                MacConkey agar plates are provided. How do you account for the difference in the          colony counts between the two agar plates?




Sheep blood agar                        MacConkey agar
a.   The urine loop used to inoculate the blood agar was inserted into the urine at a 90° angle.
b.   The urine sat at room temperature prior to processing, allowing the organisms to multiply.
c.   The urine loop was not redipped into the urine prior to inoculation of the MacConkey agar.
