As 0.5 mm is absolutely huge when it comes to bacteria, one can pretty much dismiss this "expert's" claims. He probably means "micrometers" rather than "millimeters", which would be the correct size for M. pneumoniae - it is one of the smallest bacteria. Sloppy work, though.

Don't you use a special symbol for micrometers to differentiate it from millimeters? Something like µ? I wouldn't have expected the original poster to catch such a glaring error.
