Microbial assays are a technique to assess a compound’s potency or concentration. This is carried out by exposing microorganisms to the compound and determining its effect on them. Microbial assays ...

The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes original articles, notes and review articles on novel and/or state-of-the-art methods as well as significant improvements to existing methods.

The production process, such as fermentation and purification etc., can significantly affect the relative ratio of matrix components in a multi-component antibiotic. The ratio of components can be ...

A total of 6432 cell cultures was assayed for mycoplasmas over a 6-year period by aerobic and anaerobic incubation of agar and broth media. Mycoplasmas were detected in 375 cultures (5.8%). M. orale ...

3M Food Safety’s assay to detect E. coli O157 (including H7) has received an NF Validation certificate from AFNOR Certification. It was found to be as or more effective than the EN ISO 16654 method ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) has released revised draft chapter on approach to alternative rapid microbiological methods (RMM) in coordination with microbiology experts towards making ...

When the response to a drug is a linear function of arithmetic dosage units, the relative potency of two preparations can be computed as a slope-ratio assay. Their dosage-response curves are computed ...
