Reconstructing the functions of endosymbiotic Mollicutes in fungus-growing ants [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Mollicutes, a widespread class of bacteria associated with animals and plants, were recently identified as abundant abdominal endosymbionts in healthy workers of attine fungus-farming leaf-cutting ants.

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes). [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018 The class Mollicutes (trivial name "mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses.

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).

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017 Background Mollicutes detection can be cumbersome due to their slow growth in vitro. For this reason, the use of DNA based on generic molecular tests represents an alternative for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of these microorganism.

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.

Mollicutes/HIV Coinfection and the Development of AIDS: Still Far from a Definitive Response [PDF]
The Canadian journal of infectious diseases & medical microbiology = Journal canadien des maladies infectieuses et de la microbiologie medicale, 2016 Background. Mycoplasmas are known to cause various infections in humans, mainly in the respiratory and urogenital tracts. The different species are usually host-specific and cause diseases in well-defined sites.

Phytoplasma: Phytopathogenic Mollicutes [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2000 ▪ Abstract During the past decade, research has yielded new knowledge about the plant and insect host ranges, geographical distribution, and phylogenetic relationships of phytoplasmas, and a taxonomic system has emerged in which distinct phytoplasmas are named as separate “Candidatus phytoplasma species.” In large part, this progress has resulted ...
