This test indicates that I test negative for dental caries at both 24 and 48 hours. This explains why I never have cavaties. Lucky me, I've inheritted my father's good teeth. My brother on the other hand would probably have a yellow tube at 24 & 48 hours. This means he has marked risk for dental caries. He has my mother's bad teeth or should I saw destructive mouth flora? He has frequent cavaties and problems with his teeth. Count you blessings if you have a green tube!
Here is a face skin culture on a Blood Agar plate. Microbe shows Gamma-Hemolysis (none) created small white circular colonies. Organism is most likely non-aureus Staph, which is considered normal skin flora. Skin from my arm on blood agar. 2 microbes arose. 1 was Beta-hemolytic (complete lysis) and is the large yellow growth. The other was Gamma-hemolytic (no lysis) and is the small round white colonies. The first microbe is most like bacillis normally found in the soil but can sometimes be found as skin flora. The second is most likely non-aureus Staph. Both are considered to be normal skin flora.
