Collection from infants and children are 1 to 5 mL . If too little blood is collected, the ratio of blood-to-nutrient broth will inhibit the growth of microorganisms.

Growing E . coli in nutrient broth is a quick and simple way of propagating this microbe, but does not exploit one of E . coli's most important properties.
16.
If too much blood is collected from the patient, the patient risks a hospital-induced anemia and the ratio of blood-to-nutrient broth will tilt in the opposite direction, which also is not conductive to optimal growth.

In a different kind of test involving the growth of bacterial colonies in nutrient broth, the extracts were found to work effectively against E . coli and S . aureus at concentrations as low as . 5 percent.
