________ When someone has typhoid fever, the organism moves from the intestines to other parts of the body, then back to the intestines via the gall bladder, which causes ulceration of the intestines. ________ A pure culture would include a sputum sample and a colony on a streaked plate.

First question is true.

Second one is false. Pure culture only include a colony on a streaked plate because streaking is the method to get pure culture on a selective growth medium whereas sputum is taken to detect the presence of specific pahogen strain. But it is not necessary that sputum has only single strain clone. It can be infected with virus as well as bacteria at the same time.
