2. Alternative microbiology methods (AMM)
Alternative Microbiology Methods (AMM) are rapid methods for detecting/quantifying micro-organisms. They use techniques that do not require samples to be cultured beforehand. They involve analyzing either the various properties of viable cells, the cell's genetic material, or biological aerosol particles.
There are several physiological states of bacteria
