Abstract
Three different miniaturized methods [Eppendorf pipette and platinum-mini-spreader, loop-spreader and calibrated stamping disk] for the rapid surface viable counting [of bacteria] are described. The methods were compared with 7 different existing methods for viable counts and were easier, quicker and in some cases more accurate. The techniques require $ 10% of the material and time needed for conventional spread-plate methods and the results were in no way inferior.
