I once tried using Slim Jims as a control for gram staining. It had a lot of positive bacteria, but no negatives. We then went to our microbiology lab got a little colony of positive and negative bacteria, embedded it in agar and processed it. This worked great! I do want to see if this works with hamburger or hot dogs.
