Colony Forming Unit (cfu)

A colony forming unit is a microbiological term that describes a single detectable colony that originates from one or more microorganisms. Colony forming units are typically expressed as CFU per ml for liquid samples, CFU per m3 for air sample and CFU per sample for samples captured on solid medium such as settle or contact plates.
