case_images: Her clinical course is shown in Figure 2.
case_images: (From left to right) McFarland No. 1.0 and its dilutions of 100x, 1000x, and 10,000x, respectively.. The bacterial levels in these samples were 1.36 x 108 CFU/mL, 1.10 x 106 CFU/mL, 1.64 x 105 CFU/mL, and 1.44 x 104 CFU/mL, respectively.

case_images: In order to closely examine the amount of bacteria in sputum culture, we prepared a bacterial solution adjusted to McFarland No. 1.0 and diluted it from 10x to 10,000x (Figure 3).
case_images: Various dilutions of McFarland fluid were tested using Ribotest Legionella.. (From above) McFarland No. 1.0 and its dilutions of 100x, 1000x, and 10,000x, respectively.
