Recently, we have developed a method to enrich mixed bacterial populations for slow-growing microorganisms using the GMD Growth Assay combined with fluorochrome staining and flow cytometry. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using this experimental approach to detect clonogenic growth of individual bacteria within GMDs in less than 3 h and to separate subpopulations based on differential growth rates. We show that after sorting, organisms remain viable and can be propagated in culture for further analysis. |
