Blood, urine, sputum, wounds... cultures are everywhere—but do you know what they really mean?
In this episode, we break down:
✅ When to order cultures (and when not to)
✅ How to tell a contaminant from a true infection
✅ How to interpret Gram stains like a boss
✅ What to do with Candida in blood and urine
Not everything that grows needs treating.
And not all negative cultures mean you're in the clear.
