Viruses That Grow In Culture and Incubation Time
April 2012
This chart on the next slide shows the viruses that will grow in culture and note that it is a somewhat short list. I’d like to just call attention to 3 common viruses that take a very long time to grow in culture. These are VZV, CMV, and RSV. VZV and RSV, in particular, often fail to grow in culture at all.
