Mycoplasmas are small bacteria which do not possess a cell wall and they are one of the most prevailing sources of contamination of cell lines. Mycoplasma contamination is a major hurdle for a cell culturist. They are not visible in normal microscopes and their contamination does not alter pH or turbidity significantly.
Mycoplasma infections can be very severe. Mycoplasma contamination occurs if already infected culture is brought into the laboratory or a person with human mycoplasma enters the laboratory. Mycoplasma contamination is a severe problem because they can bring changes in cell culture such as altering cell metabolism, changes in chromosomes of cell culture. Hence, mycoplasma testing is regularly conducted in cell culture research laboratories.
Increase in investments in R&D in the field of life sciences, government organizations funding researchers in drug discovery and development, increase in the number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are some of the major factors driving the growth of mycoplasma testing market in North America. Stringent government regulations and high costs involved with the mycoplasma testing methods are restraining the market growth.
