  • Title: [The use of impedance measurements in medical microbiology].
    Author: Strassburger J, Seidel R, Hossbach J.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Hyg; 1989 Jul; 35(7):399-402. PubMed ID: 2678784.
    Abstract:
    The versatility of the impedance method makes it a valuable tool in clinical microbiology. Impedance can be used to estimate total number of bacteria or to determine bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The impedance method provides a unique opportunity to determine microbial activity and kinetics. Impedance microbiology represents a different approach to qualitative and quantitative microbiology. The method is very simple to operate, requires no sample preparation, allows rapid detection of bacterial growth, and interprets with microcomputer results automatically.
