PCR-based bacterial and fungal detection helps scientists efficiently analyze the sterility of their cell cultures, improving Mycoplasma testing and beyond. Scientists turn to PCR-based methods that ...

In the face of a bacterium that easily resists common antibiotics, members of UAB established testing to identify it in human disease. Mycoplasma, that is. Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a proposed rule on Monday to remove the required testing method to detect the presence of Mycoplasma because FDA said the regulation is restrictive in ...
