Räkning av antalet livsdugliga, isolerade bakterier, arkeceller eller svampceller eller -sporer på ett fast odlingsmedium. Varje koloni (dvs kolonibildande enhet) representerar avkomman av en enda inympad cell. Metoden används rutinmässigt av miljömikrobiologer för att bestämma antalet organismer i luft, föda och vatten, av kliniker för att mäta den mikrobiella belastningen på patienter, och vid antibiotikatestning.
Enumeration by direct count of viable, isolated bacterial, archaeal, or fungal CELLS or SPORES capable of growth on solid CULTURE MEDIA. The method is used routinely by environmental microbiologists for quantifying organisms in AIR; FOOD; and WATER; by clinicians for measuring patients' microbial load; and in antimicrobial drug testing.
