Culture Test For Mycoplasma

Maryland rates for HCPCS 87109

Attempts to grow mycoplasma, a very small type of bacterium that has no cell wall, from a sample taken from the patient. These organisms need special growth conditions and will not appear on a routine culture, so a separate one is set up for them. Growing the organism confirms it is present and allows further testing on it.
