Résumé
Counting of microbial colonies is a common technique employed in research and diagnostics. To simplify this tedious and time-consuming process, automated systems have been proposed. This study aimed to elucidate the reliability of automated colony counting. We evaluated a commercially available instrument (UVP ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station) in regard to its accuracy and potential time savings. Suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecium, and Candida albicans (
