Extracellular vesicles of minimalistic Mollicutes as mediators of immune modulation and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Communications BiologyExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are central components of bacterial secretomes, including the small, cell wall-less Mollicutes. Although EV release in Mollicutes has been reported, EV proteomic composition and function have not been explored yet.

In search of essentiality: Mollicute-specific genes shared by twelve genomes [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 Mollicutes are cell wall-less bacteria with a genome characterized by its small size. Chromosomal rearrangements help these organisms evade host immune surveillance and hence cause disease.

Prevalence of Mollicutes among men who have sex with men and transgender women aged 15 to 19 years in Salvador, North-eastern Brazil [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023 Background Some species of Mollicutes have been associated with different pathologies of the urogenital tract in humans, with a high prevalence among adult men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW).

Transition of the genital mollicutes from the second to the third trimester of pregnancy and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM women: a prospective, single-center cohort study from China [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground The association of genital Mollicutes infection transition with adverse pregnancy outcomes was insignificant among general pregnant women, but there remains a paucity of evidence linking this relationship in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

Discovery of deep-sea coral symbionts from a novel clade of marine bacteria with severely reduced genomes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMicrobes perform critical functions in corals, yet most knowledge is derived from the photic zone. Here, we discover two mollicutes that dominate the microbiome of the deep-sea octocoral, Callogorgia delta, and likely reside in the mesoglea.

Comparative genomic analysis of mollicutes with and without a chaperonin system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The GroE chaperonin system, which comprises GroEL and GroES, assists protein folding in vivo and in vitro. It is conserved in all prokaryotes except in most, but not all, members of the class of mollicutes.
