11 Sample 15/2010 Primary aerobic culture Growth on sheep blood agar and on chocolated blood agar in 5% CO 2, at +35 C after 24 hours. -> An alpha-haemolytic streptococcus

12 Sample 15/2010. Primary anaerobic culture on anaerobic blood agar plate (FAA) 48 h, at +35 C. Inhibition of streptococcal growth around an aminoglycoside disk.
