Abstract
A century ago, Robert Koch described routine cultivation techniques to determine the microbiological status of drinking water by counting microbial colonies on agar plates. Since then these methods are used worldwide in drinking water quality control. Plating methods require time and effort and today we know that the total bacterial cell count often is significantly underestimated. Flow cytometry offers a fast, easy and accurate alternative with improved informative value on total cell counts and cell viability.
