  2. Plate count agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_count_agar

    The pour plate technique is the typical technique used to prepare plate count agars. Here, the inoculum is added to the molten agar before pouring the plate. The molten agar is cooled to about 45 degrees Celsius and is poured using a sterile method into a petri dish containing a specific diluted sample.

  3. Virtual colony count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_colony_count

    The traditional colony count method could be modified to measure antimicrobial activity in the 96-well plate without the need for sampling the wells and spreading surviving cells on agar plates by simply adding an equal volume of twice-concentrated broth after the two hour incubation in the low salt buffer.

  4. Colony-forming unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony-forming_unit

    Colony-forming units are used to quantify results in many microbiological plating and counting methods, including: The pour plate method wherein the sample is suspended in a Petri dish using molten agar cooled to approximately 40–45 °C (just above the point of solidification to minimize heat-induced cell death).

  5. Agar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_plate

    An agar plate being viewed in an electronic colony counter Example of a workup algorithm of possible bacterial infection in cases with no specifically requested targets (non-bacteria, mycobacteria etc.), with most common situations and agents seen in a New England community hospital setting. Different agar plates are used for different specimen ...

  6. Bacteriological water analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriological_water_analysis

    The laboratory procedure involves making serial dilutions of the sample (1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, etc.) in sterile water and cultivating these on nutrient agar in a dish that is sealed and incubated. Typical media include plate count agar for a general count or MacConkey agar to count Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli. Typically one set of ...

  7. Miles and Misra method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_and_Misra_method

    The plates are left upright on the bench to dry before inversion and incubation at 37 °C for 18 – 24 hours (or appropriate incubation conditions considering the organism and agar used). Each sector is observed for growth, high concentrations will give a confluent growth over the area of the drop, or a large number of small/merged colonies.

  8. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    Stab cultures are similar to agar plates, but are formed by solid agar in a test tube. Bacteria is introduced via an inoculation needle or a pipette tip being stabbed into the center of the agar. Bacteria grow in the punctured area. [11] Stab cultures are most commonly used for short-term storage or shipment of cultures.

  9. Agar dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_dilution

    Agar dilution is one of two methods (along with broth dilution) used by researchers to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. It is the dilution method most frequently used to test the effectiveness of new antibiotics when a few antibiotics are tested against a large panel of different bacteria.
