Title
you observed the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae and
Staphylococcus epidermidis on the Horse Blood Agar (HBA) plates. The colonies and their
surroundings looked like those in the image below. Based on the content of (HBA) plates
and the specific properties of these three organisms, explain the particular appearance of
the colonies on the plates. Name and describe the three subtypes of a process that occur on
these plates.
