The idea
A culture is a sample taken to grow and identify any microbes present, so the right treatment can be chosen.
In practice
Culture samples are collected with sterile technique, so that only microbes from the site, not from hands or surroundings, are captured.
Where people slip
Culture containers are labelled and handed off promptly, like any specimen.
