Mycoplasma

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria which lack a cell wall. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases. The name Mycoplasma, from the Greek mykes and plasma, was first used by A. B. Frank in 1889.
