Propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment was incorporated to distinguish dead cells from viable cells. Both PCR methods could be used to quantify the number of DNA copies/mL and determine the proportion of dead cells (when PMA was used). The methods produced comparable counts using three single-copy genes (VC1376, thyA, and recA). However, ddPCR showed greater accuracy and sensitivity than qPCR. ddPCR also allows direct counting without the need to establish a standard curve. Our study develops a PMA-ddPCR method as a new tool to quantify VB
