Differentiation of Sterol-Requiring from Sterol-Nonrequiring Mycoplasmas by Amphotericin B

S Rottem 1
PMCID: PMC380404  PMID: 5021975

Abstract

Growth inhibition of mycoplasmas by amphotericin B in a liquid medium was found to be a simple means of differentiating sterol-requiring from sterol-nonrequiring species.
