title: Modern microbiological techniques and their use in dialysis fluid systems: What are the benefits?
abstract: Modern microbiological techniques using characterization of DNA are increasingly used in ecological microbiology to describe the diversity of microfloras. The benefit is that systems can be described with a much higher degree of reality. In dialysis, one application is the evaluation of fluid-system disinfection strategies.
