How do you convert mpn to cfu?

There is no way to convert CFU to MPN and vice versa. CFU's are the Colony Forming Units in a given sample volume as in, these ARE the colony forming units in 100mLs of a sample. CFU's are definitive. MPN's are the Most Probable Number of cfu's in a given sample volume as in, there are PROBABLY this many cfu's in 100 mLs of a sample. MPN is an estimate of probability.


Pasteurized milk is allowed 20000 cfu ml how many colonies would be present if 1ml of a 10 -3 dilution was plated is 20000 cfu ml a health hazard?

If 1 ml of a 10^-3 dilution is plated, the number of colonies would be 20 colonies (20000 cfu/ml / 10^-3). Whether 20000 cfu/ml is a health hazard would depend on the specific bacteria present and their pathogenicity, as well as individual health conditions. Generally, a high level of bacteria in food products can pose a health risk, especially for vulnerable populations.


What is the formula used for counting CFU ml?

cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume inoculated


Is CFU always capitalized?

Yes.

A sample has a density of 1.37 x105 cfu what fdf should yield a countable plate and which two dilution tubes could be used to produce this fdf?

To yield a countable plate, a dilution factor (fdf) of around 10^3 to 10^6 is typically used. For a density of 1.37 x 10^5 cfu, a dilution of 10^-2 to 10^-5 could be used, depending on the initial concentration. Dilution tubes with factors of 10^-2 and 10^-3 could be suitable choices for achieving a manageable plate count.
