The goal of this work was to develop a microbiosensor to measure acetate concentration
profiles inside biofilms in situ. The working principle of the microbiosensor was based on the …

Dielectric measurements revealed that dormant spores of Bacillus cereus have extremely
low conductivities at high frequencies (50 MHz) and so must contain remarkably low …

Background Multiple techniques exist for detecting Mycobacteria, each having its own
advantages and drawbacks. Among them, automated culture-based systems like the …

We present a rapid (4-hr) electrical method for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing that not only
yields the MIC of candidate antibiotics, but also simultaneously determines the antibiotics' …

The suitability of indirect impedance to accurately measure microbial growth in real food
matrices was investigated. A variety of semi-solid and liquid food products were inoculated …

An instrument was developed to measure the concentration of bacterial suspensions by their
electrical characteristics. It employed a square-wave signal generator, a tetra-polar …

The growth curve and the bacteriocin production by Lactobacillus paracasei subsp.
paracasei M3—a strain isolated from Bulgarian yellow cheese, was studied using …

The ultrasonic determination of microbial population was carried out by using a new
apparatus composed of two piezoelectric membranes. When the apparatus was immersed …

This paper describes an approach for quantifying low concentrations of bacteria, particularly
Escherichia coli, based on the measurement of the initial attachment of bacteria to platinum …

The use of the Malthus conductance growth analyser for the detection of Streptococcus
bovis attached to stainless steel surfaces was evaluated. A comparison between the results …
