Measuring of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth: a correlation of the optical measurements with colony forming units

Measuring of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth: a correlation of the optical measurements with colony forming units

The quantification of colony forming units (cfu), turbidity, and optical density at 600 nm (OD600) measurements were used to evaluate Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth. Turbidity and OD600 measurements displayed similar growth curves, while cfu quantification showed a continuous growth curve. We det...
