ABSTRACT:
A correct viable cell number of a microorganism in a biological tissue is measured by cultivating a fragment of the biological tissue such as skin infected with the microorganism and administered with an antimicrobial agent, in a medium containing a phospholipid, a nonionic surfactant, or both of the phospholipid and the nonionic surfactant.
