Mycoplasma pneumoniae(Mp) is a bacterium lacking cell wall, that causes atypical pneumonia in both children and adults, presenting as a mild to moderate illness. However, in some cases, it can result in severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications. Here, we report a case ofMycoplasma ...
Mycoplasma are the smallest (0.2–0.8 μM) free-living bacteria but they lack a true cell wall. They are facultative anaerobes, except for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the most common pulmonary pathogen, which is a strict aerobe. Mycoplasma pneumonia occurs worldwide with no increased seasonal activity,...
Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) is a small, non-living microorganism that is intermediate between bacteria and viruses. MP infection accounts for 20%–40% of community-acquired pneumonia1,2.Mycoplasma pneumoniaepneumonia (MPP) can cause immune disorders and systemic inflammatory responses, leading to its ten...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the leading cause of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia among hospitalized children in the United States. It is also responsible for a spectrum of other respiratory tract disorders and extrapulmonary manifestat
Bacteria of the classMollicutesare characterized by the absence of a cell wall and numerous enzymatic pathways that were lost by reductive evolution from Gram-positive ancestors. As a result,Mollicuteshave a pleomorphic cell shape and live a parasitic lifestyle to scavenge nutrients from their host....
were previously described as "proteins of the Triton X-100 insoluble fraction ofM. pneumoniae" [25]. These proteins may be associated or bound to a cytoskeleton-like structure, which could provide the necessary framework to maintain and stabilize the shape ofM. pneumoniae[26], to allow motility...

Rod-shaped bacteria with a unique cell wall. Mycobacterium's cell wall makes them resistant to certain staining methods. 5 Mycoplasma Causes respiratory and urogenital infections. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of walking pneumonia. 4 Mycobacterium Causes diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy....
