Results are expressed as mean percentages of recovery from mean colony counts obtained at time zero; n, number of strains tested. Mean colony counts obtained at time zero were as follows: for M. pachydermatis (107 and 104 cells/ml), 0.36 × 106 and 0.23 × 104, respectively; for lipid-dependent species (107 cells/ml) grown on MD and LM, 0.95 × 105 and 0.10 × 106, respectively.
