We outline the main differences in the activity profile of bacterial cultures studied by dynamic laser speckle (or
biospeckle) patterns. The activity is detected in two sorts of culture mediums. The optical setup and the experimental
procedure are presented. The experimentally obtained images are processed by the temporal difference method and a
qualitative assessment is made with the time history of speckle patterns of the sample. The main differences are studied after changing the culture medium composition. We conclude that the EC medium is suitable to detect the E. coli bacterial presence in early hours and that Mueller Hinton agar delays some additional hours to make possible the assessment of bacteria in time.
