Culture and sensitivity inoculate sample onto blood agar and chocolate agar plate. incubate at 37°c with 5 10% co 2 for 24 – 48 hours.; colony morphology. colonies on blood agar plate are small (0.5 mm), round, translucent, or mucoid with alpha hemolysis (a green discoloration of the agar around the colonies). Other important pore forming membrane disrupting toxins include alpha toxin of staphylococcus aureus and pneumolysin of streptococcus pneumoniae.
