Flow Cytometric Analysis of Heterogeneous Bacterial Populations

  • Chapter
Flow Cytometry in Microbiology

Abstract

There is currently much interest in developing instrumental techniques for rapid microbiological analyses, in particular bacterial identification. This stems largely from the limitations of the classical identification procedures that are still the main approach to identifying bacteria today.
