Just had a check on the agar plates from yesterday. There is zero growth thus far on the bones that were alcohol swabbed and only minimal growth on the bones handled with gloves. This is what i expected to see and hopefully when we compare to the plates we start growing tomorrow, we will be able to say whether or not wearing gloves makes a difference.
However due to the state of the incubators and the incubation room, as well as working shoulder to shoulder with other people, i think its important to note that any results we get are only indicators and not a definitive answer, so don’t expect to just go downstairs and start fondling with one of the bodies without protection!!!!!
Glad we are in our final week, i would like to enjoy some of the summer sun before we lose it!!!
