Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for detecting microorganisms such as mycoplasma or mouse minute virus (MMV) in a sample, the method comprising: (i) performing PCR on a sample suspected of comprising mycoplasma DNA with a PCR reaction mixture comprising (1) a first primer (Pl) annealing to the reverse complement of a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and a second primer (P2) annealing to a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, or (2) a third primer (P3) annealing to the reverse complement of a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 109 and a fourth primer (P4) annealing to a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 110; and (ii) detecting a PCR product, wherein the detection of a PCR product indicates that the sample comprises microroganisms, and the absence of a PCR product indicates that the sample does not comprise microroganisms. The present invention further pertains to a pair of primers for detecting mycoplasma or virus in a sample, and to a kit for detecting mycoplasma or virus in a sample.
