METHODS FOR ESTIMATING MICROBIAL DENSITY IN SPECIMENS BY MEASUREMENT OF RIBOSOMAL RNA

A method of determining a bacterial density in a specimen may include the steps of: (a) conducting an RNA assay on the specimen to determine a microbial rRNA concentration, wherein the microbial rRNA concentration is defined as the number of rRNA molecules per volume of the specimen; and (b) 1 conve...

Zusammenfassung:A method of determining a bacterial density in a specimen may include the steps of: (a) conducting an RNA assay on the specimen to determine a microbial rRNA concentration, wherein the microbial rRNA concentration is defined as the number of rRNA molecules per volume of the specimen; and (b) 1 converting the rRNA concentration to a bacterial density value.
