Abstract
An imaging method for earliest microbial growth detection. The method uses images to determined colony biomass, and the colony biomass determines when the colony can be picked for analysis for identification or antibiotic susceptibility testing. If the sample source is not a pure sample source additional incubation may be required to permit an increase in biomass of the colonies prior to pick.
