Mycoplasma Infection in Tissue Culture

It is my understanding that myecolplasma freely exist on our skin surfaceand they tend to infect cell cultures while handling them with dirty hands or gloves. I haven't heard of a case where the reverse is true, simplybecause we are NOT immunocompromised creatures.

Dear Dr. McKay,
I just read your 1998 message regarding a mycoplasma infection. You asked if you could have infected your tissue culture. I am now curious - could the mycoplasma infection in the tissue culture have infected you?
I look forward to your response.
