Abstract: 
This research proposes the application of an automatic system for the recognition and counting of colony forming units (CFU) for mycoplasmas, applying a digital image treatment technique. This initiative will facilitate the quantification of colonies, in order to accelerate the diagnostic processes in research where these microorganisms of relevance in public health are involved.
