Which of the following methods is most likely to be quantitative?

  • A.Dilution and plating
  • B.Gram staining
  • C.Wet mount
  • D.None of these

Answer: A

Correct answer: Dilution and plating

Dilution and plating is quantitative: a measured volume of a known dilution is spread, and the colonies counted give the number of viable organisms in the original sample. Gram staining and a wet mount show what the organisms are and whether they move, but count nothing.
