You have a very sore throat with symptoms indicating strep throat. Since you are taking microbiology right now, you decide that you will take a swab from your throat and swab it onto an enrichment medium like a blood agar plate or a brain-heart infusion agar plate.  Why is this not a good idea?

A. You are on a diet now, and you are afraid that the food that you are eating will in some way impact the growth of the bacteria.  As a result, you will not get valid results. B. You use a mouthwash a couple of times a day, so you think that the antibacterial properties of the mouthwash will inhibit or kill the oral bacteria and results in invalid results. C.
