Abstract
The rezazurin assay for screening of bacterial growth remains the most popular method for express diagnostic tests. It is based on the change of colour and uorescence properties of the respective dye due to bacterial breathing but its conventional quantitative practical implementation requires a relative expensive and cumbersome spectrophotometric equipment. As an alternative approach, we propose to shift a focus from hardware to software. Preliminary results announced in this work show that the processing RGB colour channels for simple photographic images of resazurin assay plates with mycobacterium tuberculosis provides an opportunity to reconstruct the target growth curve with an accuracy comparable with results obtained using the conventional photometric uorescence curves.
