title: Comparison of direct serial dilution and most-probable-number methods for determining endotoxins in meats by the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test.
abstract: When the endotoxin content of ground beef was determined by direct serial dilution and by three-tube most-probable-number methods, the results were not significantly different, although the latter method provided more specific values for individual samples.
