Project Details

Description

The objective is to develop and evaluate a new quantitative, culture-based test to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae bacteria in drinking water and its sources by adapting the Compartment Bag Test for use with a new, defined substrate, chromogenic liquid culture medium that will be created, thereby resulting in a lab-independent, field-portable and self-contained test system.
