cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume inoculated
The standard for aerobic plate count, also known as aerobic colony count or Total Viable Count (TVC), is typically expressed in colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/ml) or per gram (CFU/g) of sample. The acceptable limits can vary depending on the type of product or industry, but generally, lower counts indicate better hygiene and quality of the sample.
Microbial load (cfu/g or cfu/ml) can be expressed as log10. So, if you have 100,000 microbes that is 5 log, 10,000 microbes is 4 log, 1,000 is 3 log, 100 microbes is 2 log and 10 microbes is 1 log. Now, if you went from 100,000 microbes cfu/g to 10,000 microbes cfu/g that would be a 1 log reduction (5 - 4 log). If you went from 100,000 to 32,000 that would be a 0.5 log reduction (5 - 4.5 log) and so on. I hope this helps St John Hall
For a rough count, divide ml # by 28. -It will be close.
CFU stands for colony-forming units and is a measure of the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample. If water testing reports 1000 CFU, it means there are 1000 individual bacterial or fungal colonies present in that specific volume of water. This count helps assess the level of contamination and determine if further action is needed to ensure water safety.
If 1 ml of a 10^-3 dilution is plated, the number of colonies would be 20 colonies (20000 cfu/ml / 10^-3). Whether 20000 cfu/ml is a health hazard would depend on the specific bacteria present and their pathogenicity, as well as individual health conditions. Generally, a high level of bacteria in food products can pose a health risk, especially for vulnerable populations.

The doctor's office is closed on weekends. The test results show that the urine sample is contaminated with a high concentration of bacteria (10000-100000 CFU per mL) from various types of microorganisms. It may be necessary to repeat the test to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

The dilution factor is 1:100, as you're adding 4.95 ml to the original 0.05 ml. The final concentration is calculated by multiplying the original concentration by the dilution factor, resulting in a final concentration of 3.6x10^4 CFU/ml.
0.338 grams per mL equals 0.338 kg per liter.
