AN AUTOMATIC BACTERIAL COLONY COUNTER
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Bacterial colony counting is useful in many areas e.g. Disinfectants are used to kill harmful microorganismsin many different applications. They are used in veterinary practice to help to preventthe spread of infectious diseases such as foot and mouth and avian influenza. They are used in food production and catering premises,as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, to prevent contamination of products with harmful bacteria. In the medical area, hospital acquiredinfections (e.g. caused by Staphylococcus aureus MRSA) can be controlled by employing a rigorous regime of cleaning and disinfectingwith appropriate bactericidal products [1, 2].To count these bacterial colonies manually is very hectic and time consuming process To count these bacterial colonies microbiologist uses some dyes so that bacterial colonies appear as colored spots and our problem is to count the number of these bacterial colonies. An increased area of focus in Microbiology is the automation of counting methods. Counting of bacterial colonies is complex task for microbiologist. We proposed a method to count these colonies to save time with accurate results and fast delivery to customers.
