You are determining the number of colony forming units (CFUs) for Susan, who has a urinary tract infection (UTI). You added 1 mL of Susan’s urine sample to 99 mL of diluent and spread 0.1 mL of that dilution on a culture medium. After appropriate incubation, you count 143 colonies on the plate. What was the concentration of bacteria in the original urine sample?
