Q2 bacteria grow on a specific medium and form colony

Different bacteria grow different type culture medium

A particular bacteria grow on a particular culture medium s and with a specific pattern so we identify Wich bacteria are in our body produce disease

Culture medium like chocolate agar, nitration agar,blood agar

Q3 higher number of microbes at a site of entry increase chances of dieseas beacuse all microbes not kill by our body diffence some are survive and produce disease
