    20

    Explanation:

    Viral plaque assays determine the number of plaque-forming units (pfu) in a virus sample, which is one measure of virus quantity. This assay is based on a microbiological method conducted in Petri dishes or multi-well plates.

    If there was no dilution of the bacterium-virus mixture, there will be 20 plaque-forming units that are what microbiologist counts on the plate.
