Total bacterial count (TBC) estimates the number of microorganisms present in a specimen. TBCs are generated by quantifying colony-forming bacterial units (CFU) per unit of sample. TBC can be obtained by a standard method, which includes counting CFUs manually or a spectrophotometric method, which evaluates the amount of transmitted light produced by the culture.
