This review examines the complex challenge of accurately measuring probiotic viability and activity. The authors highlight that traditional CFU-based plate counts capture only a portion of viable microbial populations and may overlook metabolically active or stress-adapted cells. The paper emphasizes the importance of combining analytical approaches, including culture-independent methods, to better characterize probiotic functionality and product quality.
