The ability of a flow cytometer to rapidly assess microbial viability was investigated using three vital stains: rhodamine 123 (Rh123); 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide [DiOC6(3)] and fluorescein diacetate (FDA). Rh123 was found to clearly differentiate viable from non-viable bacteria. The methodo
