Bacterial Disinfectant Efficacy Using Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry is a rapid method to quantitate live and dead bacteria in a sample.1-4 It can be used to measure the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds by exposing organisms to the disinfectant and subsequently staining with permeant and impermeant DNA dyes. Test organism viability, measured using a 30-minute flow cytometry assay, showed comparable sensitivity with a standard 48-hour plate coun...
متن کاملAbsolute bacterial cell enumeration using flow cytometry.
AIM To evaluate a flow cytometry protocol that uses reference beads for the enumeration of live and dead bacteria present in a mixture. METHODS AND RESULTS Mixtures of live and dead Escherichia coli with live:dead concentration ratios varying from 0 to 100% were prepared. These samples were stained using SYTO 9 and propidium iodide and 6-μm reference beads were added. Bacteria present in live...
متن کاملReal-time fluorescence and deformability cytometry — flow cytometry goes mechanics
Cell mechanical characterization has recently approached the throughput of conventional flow cytometers. However, this very sensitive, label-free approach still lacks the specificity of molecular markers. Here we combine real-time 1D-imaging fluorescence and deformability cytometry (RT-FDC) to merge the two worlds in one instrument — opening many new research avenues. We demonstrate its utility...
متن کاملMonitoring of Dynamic Microbiological Processes Using Real-Time Flow Cytometry
We describe a straightforward approach to continuously monitor a variety of highly dynamic microbiological processes in millisecond resolution with flow cytometry, using standard bench-top instrumentation. Four main experimental examples are provided, namely: (1) green fluorescent protein expression by antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli, (2) fluorescent labeling of heat-induced membrane damag...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection fluorescence flow cytometry.
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) has been widely used to explore biological events that are close to the cell membrane by illuminating fluorescent molecules using the evanescent wave. However, TIRFM is typically limited to the examination of a low number of cells, and the results do not reveal potential heterogeneity in the cell population. In this report, we develop an...
