Use of the fluorescent staining method for determining the viability of Mycobacterium lepraemurium.
Year: 1985
Type: article
Abstract: The cell suspension of Mycobacterium lepraemurium was exposed to heating of 40°C to 70°C for various lengths of time. The percent green-fluorescent cell by the midified fluorescein diacetate (FDA) -ethidium bromide (EB) staining method was calculated and compared with the infectivity to mice. The reduction in the percentage was associated significantly with the loss of the infectivity.
