The goal of processing primary culture plates is to isolate significant anaerobic organisms present in the original specimen for identification and when susceptibility testing is indicated. The original Gram stain of the specimen is critical. At that time all morphological types should be carefully described and recorded. When evaluating culture plates, all morphotypes observed in the original Gram stain should match.
