The substances were evaluated individually for total
colony counts, hygiene indicator organisms, pathogenic organisms, and levels of aflatoxin.
The bacterial
colony count were noted and the colonies were identified using standard microbiological techniques.
Colony counts per solution per time interval for S.
The
colony counts in air cultures collected 10 cm, 50 cm, and 100 cm away from the endotracheal intubation site in the open suctioning group were significantly greater than the counts in the closed suctioning group (colony-forming units [CFU]/plate: 72.3 [+ or -] 142.4, 57.8 [+ or -] 144.9 and 15.7 [+ or -] 26.2 vs.
In our study, a high median microbial
colony count [median 10.5 (IQR 3-16.8) colony forming units (CFU)/[cm.sup.2]] was detected (Figure 1).
On modified humic acid agar,
colony count of actinobacteria in lichen sample from elevation of 2614 m was significantly more than those of other elevations (P<0.05).
Quantitative (
Colony Count Method and XTT Assay) Assessment of Biofilms.
Aerobic
Colony Count. The test sample was prepared in the same way that they were prepared for aerobic and anaerobic spore-formers count.
Mean
colony count for control in this study was within the range of counts measured in studies 1-3, suggesting that the chosen bacterial load appropriately mimicked the other studies.
In contrast, a manual
colony count, the most common method for quantifying the number of stem cells or progenitors in a given sample, is highly variable.
