Sensitivity of the 14CO2 Radiometric Method for Bacterial Detection
AUTOR(ES)
Waters, John R.
RESUMO
Decimal serial dilutions of eight common bacterial species were prepared, and the detection times were determined by measuring the 14CO2 metabolized from the 14C-labeled glucose substrate. The detection time was proportional to the logarithm of the initial inoculum, and high sensitivity, down to 1 colonyforming unit, was demonstrated.
