Colony counting is a microbiological technique used to estimate the number of viable microorganisms in a sample by counting the number of colonies that grow on an agar plate. It is crucial for assessing microbial contamination levels, determining the efficacy of antimicrobial treatments, and conducting quantitative microbiology research.
