Mycoplasma is one of the most common cell culture contaminants, with six species of mycoplasma accounting for 95% of all contamination. Contamination in cell culture labs can lead to loss of time and money, and invalid scientific data. Therefore, it is important to improve our understanding of where mycoplasma contamination can stem from and how best to prevent it.
