Mycoplasma strains of all origins and species can grow on PPLO agar (pleuropneumonia-like organisms), if thallium and L-cystine are added. Brown-black is the coloration of the growing colonies, with the intensity of blackening varying by colony age. Blackening of the mycoplasma colonies is likely to facilitate germ counting, cloning, and evaluation of the growth inhibition test.

The risk of infection from puerperal tubal ligation is studied 1, 2, 3, and 5 days postpartum. Aliquots of 52 oviduct homogenates and 26 endometrial saline aspirates were cultured in serum. PPLO, tryptic soy, and thioglycolate broth, and blood, PPLO, and chocolate agar. A Brown and Brenn Gram stain was run on oviduct sections. Results indicated that, except for contamination with airborne Staphylococcus epidermidis, 1 oviduct harbored S. epidermidis, and 1 endometrium yielded Streptococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Fever occurred only in 2 other patients whose cultures were sterile; one had bronchial pneumonia and the other had positive transcervical lochial culture. No histologies were positive, and no fastidious organisms, L-forms, or fungi were cultured. The widely held view that tubal sterilization is unwise 48 hours after delivery because of infection is therefore opposed.
