TO AlErt 
Acholeplasma laidlawii can be part of the bioburden of broth
powders, both plant and animal derived
Serum free cell culture media have also become contaminated , possibly from one
or more component.
The source has not been established.
ALL FILTER STERILISED MEDIA MAY BE AT
RISK
Mycoplasma Experience has been
involved at every step of the
Acholeplasma laidlawii contamination
story
Ø
Identified an isolate as A.laidlawii from a TSB media fill
sterility trial (1993)
Ø
Subsequently isolated A.laidlawii from bacteriological broth
powders
Ø
Developed testing protocols for broth solutions and cell culture media,
with associated QC, for the detection of A. laidlawii
And now....
We have designed a
RAPID, animal product free A.laidlawii
DETECTION MEDIUM which can be used for non- destructive testing of large volume
samples
