Mycoplasma Infection in Tissue Culture
Fisher, Susan
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.

It is my understanding that myecolplasma freely exist on our skin surface and 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, simply because we are NOT immunocompromised creatures.
