[Role of carbon substrates of culture media on Mycobacterium smegmatis susceptibility to antitubercular agents].

Influence of medium composition on Mycobacterium smegmatis growth and susceptibility to antituberculosis drugs (ATD)--isoniazid and rifabutin--was studied. It was shown that addition of phospholipids (PL) in form of liposomes to meat peptone broth resulted in activation of M. smegmatis growth and decrease of its susceptibility to ATD.
