PCR-Based Method Using Propidium Monoazide To Distinguish Viable from Nonviable Bacillus subtilis Spores

ABSTRACT This paper describes a molecular-based method which is able to discriminate between viable and inactivated Bacillus subtilis spores by utilizing the DNA-intercalating dye propidium monoazide. The approach should be valuable in our attempt to employ molecular methods to streamline the evaluation of process validation using bacterial endospores.
