Abstract: The purpose of this test is to determine E. coli, Pasteurella, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis and Streptococcus bovis OD600 values, and the relationship with the number of living bacteria. First of all, the bacteria were measured by turbidimetric method in 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 h OD600 value of the bacteria, and dilution bacteria liquid for the plate count. The relationship between the OD600 and the bacterial concentration was obtained, in logarithmic phase of bacterial growth, E. coli: y=8 708.7e36.43xR²=0.828); Pasteurella: y=34.82e35.57xR²=0.866); Staphylococcus aureus: y=49 331e28.16xR²=0.743); Staphylococcus epidermis: y=4×108e24.73xR²=0.928); Streptococcus bovis: y=8×109e68.21xR²=0.971), which provide the basis for measuring the number of live bacteria in the bacterial fluid.

Key words: OD600 value of bacterial fluid, plate counting, quantitative relationship
