Does anyone know of a good resource for help with plate reading? I recently had my micro rotation and it was a reality check. In student lab I was used to identifying organisms from pure cultures. Now I get to a very high volume micro lab and it's a little overwhelming. These techs can pop open a plate and in about 5 seconds tell what's normal and what's worth working up and what the organism probably is. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good website for help with reading plates of mixed flora. The kind of plates you will usually see in the real world.
