 ===== Culturing and detection =====
-Once bacteria have transformed into the L-form they can no longer be detected by many standard laboratory procedures. Although scientists have known about L-form bacteria for over a century, many of them have not detected them in tissue and blood samples because they are very difficult to culture.

 Forms of bacteria with cell walls can be easily grown outside the body (grown //[[home:patients:assessing_literature:in_vitro_studies#in_vitro_studies|in vitro]]//). However L-form bacteria have great difficulty surviving in a foreign environment. In order to grow them successfully in the lab, conditions must be similar to those in the human body (grown [[home:patients:assessing_literature:in_vitro_studies#in_vivo_studies|in vivo]]). Consequently they can be cultured on a medium called blood agar at very specific temperatures and at a certain pH.
