MPN (Most Probable Number) and MF (Membrane Filtration) are both methods used to estimate the concentration of microorganisms in a sample, but they measure different aspects and may not yield exactly the same results. MPN is a statistical estimation based on a series of dilutions and growth observations, while MF involves filtering a sample through a membrane that captures microorganisms for direct enumeration. Variability in sample composition, dilution factors, and growth conditions can lead to discrepancies between the two methods. Therefore, while they may provide comparable results, exact agreement is not expected.
