The use of antibiotics in histology is important for several reasons: 1. Preventing Contamination: Antibiotics are added to culture media and solutions to prevent bacterial contamination, ensuring that the tissue samples remain uncontaminated. 2. Studying Infections: Antibiotics help in identifying and studying bacterial infections in tissue samples by selectively inhibiting the growth of certain bacterial species. 3. Improving Sample Quality: By preventing bacterial growth, antibiotics ensure that the tissue samples are of high quality, leading to more accurate and reliable histological analysis.
