Counting Mycobacteria in Infected Human Cells and Mouse Tissue: A Comparison between qPCR and CFU

Due to the slow growth rate and pathogenicity of mycobacteria, enumeration by traditional reference methods like colony counting is notoriously time-consuming, inconvenient and biohazardous. Thus, novel methods that rapidly and reliably quantify mycobacteria are warranted in experimental models to f...
