Recovery of M. pneumoniae from clinical specimens is a time-consuming process that requires highly specialized media. Modified New York City (NYC) medium was evaluated for its ability to support growth of M. pneumoniae, as compared with conventional culture techniques for Mycoplasma. Stock strains (95) of M. pneumoniae were inoculated onto modified NYC medium, PPLO methylene blue agar, biphasic medium with methylene blue and PPLO glucose broth with phenol red to compare each medium's growth-supporting properties. The modified NYC formulation was a suitable medium for supporting this growth of stock strains of M. pneumoniae. Growth can be detected a minimum of 5-6 days sooner than by conventional methods.
