How to perform colony count in wound swabs?

I am planning to perform a colony count using the serial dilution methods on wound swabs transported in Amies transport medium. Could anybody please recommend a protocol to the above?

Dear Chamarika Jayanetti. Although both concepts deal with colonisation, I think "colonialism" does not reflect the intended purpose here. I would like to send you my dissertation about this topic. Could you please provide me with your e-mail address at [email protected]

Kind regards,

Ron Legerstee
