Not really. It is likely that some microorganisms stick with each other, and is simply not separable by simple streaking. Sometimes the organisms exist in a bundle together, and all of these lead to the growth of one colony. Hence, microbiologist usually use the term "Colony Forming Unit" (CFU) to represent the origin of a colony, be it only one organism, or more than one.
