摘要：

The bias in the most-probable-number (MPN) estimate of microbial densities derived from serial dilutions might be less important than it has appeared to be. For many purposes, bias in the logarithm of the MPN is more important than bias in the MPN, and the bias in the logarithm is much less. The lesser bias has been reduced by using the theorems of Salama, Koch, and Tolley. Formulas and tables are provided.
