Abstract

Methods based on light diffraction on bacterial colonies create the new perspectives for innovations in microbiological diagnosis. Contrary to the conventional techniques, the proposed optical methods are non-contact and non-destructive. There is no requirement for any additional chemicals, immunological or fluorescence markers. The proposed methods are based on the images of light diffraction on bacterial colonies grown on solid nutrient media analyzed by statistical methods. The application of the digital holography can additionally facilitate and improve the efficiency of the microbiological examination.
