Chapter 6, Problem 12MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The practical methods to determine the size and number of microbe population is very useful for the determination of urinary tract infections severity, the effectiveness of food and beverage preservations or pasteurization, the intensity of fecal contamination of supply of water, and the usefulness of antibiotic or a disinfectant. There are some direct methods like serial dilution with viable plate counts, membrane filtration, and most probable count which are used to estimate the number of microbes. Indirect methods include estimation of dry weight,
