- Hi, I've noticed the picture is yours and you wrote the description yourself. As you wrote in the image's description (and to one with a basic understanding of what lab equipment is for), the red and blue bottles are used for culturing anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, respectively, and the yellow bottle is for use in pediatric populations. NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC88254/) confirms this. However, the caption on the sepsis page, as it stands, uses "children" rather than "pediatrics" and this parallel construction with "anaerobes" and "aerobes" leads to grammatical ambiguity: are the yellow bottles for culturing children? To avoid this, I suggested using the word "pediatrics" as a) it directly refers to the branch of medicine concerning children rather than the children themselves and b) did not seem out of character with the rest of the lead.
