A cryptic contamination is a possible result of using antibiotics in a cell culture. Some microorganisms like mycoplasma are resistant to antibiotics and will still grow slowly in the presence of the antibiotic. This means that a cell culture can be highly contaminated but does not show any visible effect except false results when the experiment is evaluated
