Consider the possibility of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae in patients of any age who present with a respiratory tract infection, particularly one that has developed gradually over a few days. Older children and adults are less likely to exhibit coryza. Laboratory investigation should focus on ...
Complement fixation titers for M.pneumoniae were negative on admission; subsequent titers measured on several occasions were 1/128. A thoracentesis revealed straw-colored fluid;gram stain and cultures of the pleural fluid for bacteria, viruses, fungi and acid-fast bacilli were negative. A ...
Although previously classified as Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon spp., sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of these organisms has shown that they are closely related to the pneumoniae group of mycoplasmas, which includes the human mycoplasmal pathogens Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma ...

pneumoniae (Figure 13). The structural analysis of this LPS was hampered by the presence of a galacturonic acid substituted in position 4 in the core-OS, which led to an elimination of the outer core which was destroyed under the harsh alkaline conditions used for the deacylation of LPS. ...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a ubiquitous gram-negative organism that is a natural inhabitant of the mouse alimentary tract. It can be pathogenic for the respiratory and urinary tract of mice after experimental inoculation but is not a significant cause of naturally occurring disease. Klebsiella oxytoca, ...
pneumoniae (Krause & Balish 2004); LppS from M. conjunctivae (Belloy et al 2003); and binding and activation of plasminogen from bovine Group 7 mycoplasmas (Bower et al 2003). Some surface proteins are known to confer virulence, such as MIA (mycoplasma immunodominant protein; Tu et al ...
Fibronectin is a key component of the host extracellular matrix and fibronectin-binding proteins have been described in many other bacterial pathogens including Mycoplasma pneumoniae (40), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (30), and Mycoplasma penetrans (41). In this study we report M. hyopneumoniae as a ...
