title: Effect of antiobiotics on elimination of mycoplasma from experimentally infected cells.
abstract: The primary and continuous cell cultures and mouse peritoneal macrophages were experimentally infected by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and M. orale I strains and maintained in culture media containing high concentrations of tetracycline or kanamycin. The viable mycoplasmas were eliminated from cell supernatants but not from cells.
