Abstract
Viability PCR uses cell membrane integrity to differentiate live cells from dead. Our new approach improves viability PCR by enabling it to also discriminate between cells with an intact cell membrane and the ability to actively maintain bacterial homeostasis and cells that have an intact membrane but are metabolically inactive.Keywords: Ethidium monoazide; Propidium monoazide; Viability PCR
