Droplet digital PCR improves absolute quantification of viable lactic acid bacteria in faecal samples

18 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

Analysing correlations between the observed health effects of ingested probiotics and their survival in digestive tract allows adapting their preparations for food. Tracking ingested probiotic in faecal samples requires accurate and specific tools to quantify live vs dead cells at strain level. Traditional culture-based methods are simpler to use but they do not allow quantifying viable but non-cultivable (VBNC)...
