Technique for Teaching Counting of Bacteria

A method for counting acid-fast bacteria.

A reliable, convenient, and accurate method for counting ac id-fast hacteria ( AFB) is essential for much work with Mycobacterium leprae. The procedure used , previously in the laboratory (~, 4 ) had two technical difficulties: (a) In order for the drops to spread satisfactorily the microscope slides had to have a uniform wetability of the correct degree; sometimes this requirement was difficul...

Use of nuclepore filters for counting bacteria by fluorescence microscopy.

Polycarbonate Nuclepore filters are better than cellulose filters for the direct counting of bacteria because they have uniform pore size and a flat surface that retains all of the bacteria on top of the filter. Although cellulose filters also retain all of the bacteria, many are trapped inside the filter where they cannot be counted. Before use, the Nuclepore filters must be dyed with irgalan ...
