Mycoplasma contamination is prevalent in cell culture labs: in one study, researchers identified mycoplasma contamination in 11% of the 10,000 cell lines they tested (Olarerin-George et al. 2015).

While mycoplasma are somewhat commensal in nature, they can have severe effects on cell proliferation and culture health. This, in turn, affects the experimental results and can skew scientific ...

Mycoplasma contamination is a persistent issue in cell culture and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Mycoplasmas are widespread in the environment and are commonly found on human mucosal surfaces.

Mycoplasmas are a genus of bacteria that can contaminate cell cultures when preventative measures are not taken. They are antibiotic resistant and can penetrate sterilizing-grade filters due to their ...

Many microbes can contaminate mammalian cell cultures, but some of the most worrisome are mycoplasmas, members of a family of tiny bacteria that threaten cell viability and alter cell behavior. Now ...

Mycoplasmas, Acholeplasmas, and Ureaplasmas all belong to the Mollicutes class—small prokaryotes that do not have a rigid cell wall. Contamination of cell culture media by these organisms has become a ...

Mycoplasmas are among the smallest free-living microorganisms, but the consequences of a mycoplasma contamination in a cell batch during bioprocessing can be huge. The presence of mycoplasmas can ...

Cell culture is a deliciously inviting hub for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasmas. However, as our own 'cell-culture sleuth' points out, failing to detect and eliminate contamination can alter all ...

After a microbiology-filled academic and research career, Diana Patzelt became the Global Project Manager for Microbial Enumeration Products at Sartorius (Göttingen, Germany), earning her the title of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect and identify mycoplasma contaminants in viral stocks. The results of the PCR assay ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global mycoplasma testing market size is expected to grow by USD 445.57 million as per Technavio. This marks a significant market growth compared to the 2019 growth ...

The global mycoplasma testing market is projected to grow at a robust 11% CAGR from 2022 to 2027. Key drivers include expanding R&D activities and investments, increased government funding initiatives ...
