Illustration of streak plate procedure to achieve isolated colonies using aseptic technique. The three-phase streaking pattern, known as the T-Streak, is recommended for beginners. The streaking is done using a sterile tool, such as a cotton swab or commonly an inoculation loop. The inoculation loop is first sterilized by passing it through a ...
Beginning the streak pattern. Label the base of the plate. Then, visualize the plate in four quadrants: top left (I), top right (II), bottom right (III), bottom left (IV). Streak the mixed culture back and forth in the first quadrant (top left) of the agar plate. Do not cut the agar, simply scrape the top. Flame the loop to rid of culture residue.
CAMP test is shown at bottom left. The CAMP test (Christie–Atkins–Munch-Petersen) is a test to identify group B β-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) [1] [2] based on their formation of a substance, CAMP factor, [3] that enlarges the area of hemolysis formed by the β-hemolysin elaborated from Staphylococcus aureus.

The principle behind this test is to use enzymes native to the organism to create a colored product in the presence of foreign molecules. The chemical 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactoside is used in the test because N. lactamica can hydrolyze it with the production of β- galactosidase , turning the solution into a blue color.
