Effectiveness of ATP bioluminescence assay for presumptive identification of microorganisms in hospital water sources

Abstract Background Laboratory analysis of organisms in water include arduous methods, such as the multiple tube and membrane filter. The ATP bioluminescence system, proposes a new way of measuring cellular material in water by measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which are expressed in re...
