Microbiology 3.

  • Measurement of growth

    Direct measurement:

    -direct microscopic count- counting chamber

    -electronic counting (Coulter counter)

    -plate count

    -filtration

    -most probable number method

    Indirect measurement:

    -turbidity

    -metabolic activity

    -dry weight/wet weight/cell volume

  • Counting chamber pro / cons

  • CFU - CFU/ml

    Colony Forming Units - colonies / ml

  • Methods for plate counting

    -Spread plate method

    -Pour plate method

  • Plate count pro / cons

  • Filtration pro/ cons

  • Most probable number method

  • Principle of turbidity

  • Turbidity pros / cons

  • Growth control factors

  • Sterilisation

    killing or removal of all viable microorganisms and viruses

  • Decontamination

    treatment that renders an object or inanimate surface safe to handle

  • Disinfection

    the elimination of pathogens from inanimate objects or surfaces

  • D-value

    decimal reduction time: time in which 90%of the original population is killed
