Abstract
A reliable, cheap, labor-saving technique is presented for counting viable organisms in mixtures of aerobic and anaerobic human pathogenic bacteria. Series of 0.1-ml blood agar droplets containing antibiotics are used and only 4 Petri dishes are required. A system of controls makes recognition of any errors of technique particularly simple while allowing direct subculture of any unexpected colonies.
