S ummary . A method is described for obtaining replicate velvet pad cultures of skin and other surfaces using malleable pads. This enables the bacterial flora of very irregular surfaces to be charted, and multiple replications on a range of selective media to be made. The application of the method to a number of clinical problems is reported.
