This unit describes how to detect and recognize bacterial, fungal, or mycoplasma contamination and how to verify the presence of mycoplasma. Strategies are described for dealing with culture contamination, if necessary. - [Read Assessing and Controlling Microbial Contamination in Cell Cultures Protocol]

Protocol describes a method for mycoplasma detection using Hoechst 33258, a fluorescent dye that stains DNA. Staining of particulate DNA matter around the cell nucleus (on the cell surface or in the cytoplasm) is indicative of mycoplasma contamination. - [Read Detection of Mycoplasma in Mammalian Cell Cultures Using Fluorescence Microscopy Protocol]

One of the most important, but frequently overlooked, cell culture procedures is testing cultures for microbial contamination, especially mycoplasma. It is critical for every cell culture laboratory to only use cell lines that have been carefully screened for mycoplasma. Fortunately, there is a simple fluorochrome DNA staining test that can detect both mycoplasma and virtually any other prokaryote contaminants. - [Read Mycoplasma Detection Using DNA Staining Protocol]

For both biological and economical reasons, it is important to eliminate mycoplasmas from cell cultures being used for basic research, diagnosis, and biotechnological production. The most commonly used method for elimination, inactivation, or suppression of mycoplasmas in cell cultures is treatment with antibiotics. In general, antibiotic therapies do not result in long-lasting, successful elimination. Also, the cytotoxic properties of antibiotics can cause undesirable side effects on cells. - [Read Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent Protocol]
