Bacteria and Flow

I may have asked a similar question before and, if so, I apologize.

Has anyone out there looked at bacteria on a Profile II? I am using one of
these Live/Dead kits and under the fluorescent microscope the cells
fluoresce nicely. Where the problem appears is differentiating between
signal and noise on the flow cytometer as the Profile only triggers off of
forward scatter signals.

Clues of any size or shape will be appreciated!!

Thanks,
