Biofilm viability checker: An open-source tool for automated biofilm viability analysis from confocal microscopy images

Abstract Quantifying biofilm formation on surfaces is challenging because traditional microbiological methods, such as total colony-forming units (CFUs), often rely on manual counting. These are laborious, resource intensive techniques, more susceptible to human error. Confocal laser scanning micros...
