Abstract
⺠Propidium monoazide (PMA) inactivates for PCR DNA in cells with damaged membranes. ⺠DNA in E. coli killed by mild heat treatments is not inactivated by PMA. ⺠Incubation with deoxycholate renders DNA in those cells susceptible to PMA. ⺠Live E. coli at â¥1% among live and dead cells can be enumerated by real-time PCR.
