A colorimetric method for quantitative measurement of the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antimicrobial agents is described. The method utilizes an oxidation-reduction dye, Alamar blue, as an indicator of growth. By this method, MICs

Bacteriophage T4 DNA was detected and analyzed inside E. coli by dual-laser flow cytometry using a dye combination of Hoechst 33258 (H33258) and chromomycin A3 (CA3) which bind to A-T- and G-C-rich regions of DNA, respectively. An exponentially-growi
