Culture is the beliefs, values and practices of a particular group of people (such as a religious group or a nation), including language and customs.
Culture is also the process of growing micro-organisms (such as bacteria), cells or tissues in a specially prepared growth media.
For example, a bacterial culture from a sample of body fluid or tissue can be used to detect and identify an infection.
