Extracting viruses/bacteria/etc.
How could somebody extract these from somebody who is sick? maybe from blood?

With great difficulty.
Before I answer, what would you use them for?

I wasn't. Sheer curiosity as to if it could be done.

I can't imagine the concentration would be particularly great in a person who isn't bleeding from ulcers, half dead on the floor..
I'm sure it can be done, I mean if it's there you must be able to seperate it, but from there, who knows...

For virus seperation, they centrifuge a sugar solution with the virii, and they form a distinct layer after a while. But will all the other junk in
the sample, it would be kinda difficult... though probably doable.

Can you just grow infected samples in a petri dish?

Just so you guys know, I'm not some terrorist; I just think it would be interesting to extract something like the common cold. Or, grow it, suggested
by archimede.
Now, how to make an infected sample, how to grow. Common techniques used in labs anybody?
