MICROBIAL CULTIVATION
The
vast majority of microorganisms of interest in pharmacy and medicine can be
cultivated in the laboratory and most of them require relatively simple
techniques and facilities. Some organisms are parasites and so can only be
grown inside the cells of a host species—which often necessitates mammalian
cell culture facilities—and there are a few (e.g. the organism responsible for
leprosy) that are not cultivated outside the living animal.
