Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemadsorption techniques are used to identify Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which can bind to erythrocytes (red blood cells) and cause them to agglutinate (clump together). This can be visualized under a microscope as a hemadsorption effect, allowing for definitive identification of the organism. Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum are not typically identified through hemadsorption techniques.
