actually culture is from that deep infected tissue n yes its aspiration but not necessarily involving bone...but i read on usmle world they say u have take blood cultures but kaplan does not mention blood cultures...and i think its better to take biopsy than to do blood culture as blood culture can be negative most of the time..
