Insertion sequences as variability generators in the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and M. synoviae genomes

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
We have analyzed the sequenced genomes of three strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and one strain of M. synoviae, and have found three and two different transposable element families, respectively in each species. In M.

Prevalence of Mollicutes among men who have sex with men and transgender women aged 15 to 19 years in Salvador, North-eastern Brazil

open access: yesBMC 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).

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes) [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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. Recent evidences of massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) within and across species provided a new frame to understand the successful adaptation of these minimal bacteria to a broad ...

A Comprehensive Study of Bidirectional Interactions Between the Human Microbiome and Blood Malignancies and Hematologic Conditions: Focus on Novel Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Microbiota‐targeted therapeutic strategies in hematological disorders. aHSCT: Transplanted immune cells from the donor may attack the recipient's tissues, especially when damage to the intestinal epithelium disrupts the gut microbiota, contributing to GVHD. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota that supports immune regulation helps reduce GVHD risk and

An investigation of a Mollicute-like organism inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The microflora inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract can be considered an essential 'metabolic organ', in a symbiotic relationship with its host. Due to the low cultivability and inappropriate sampling methodology the microflora is poorly explored ...

Cophylogenetic analysis suggests cospeciation between the Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade symbionts and their hosts.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Scorpions are predator arachnids of ancient origin and worldwide distribution. Two scorpion species, Vaejovis smithi and Centruroides limpidus, were found to harbor two different Mollicutes phylotypes: a Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade (SMC) and Scorpion Group

Characterization of an Immunoglobulin Binding Protein (IbpM) From Mycoplasma pneumoniae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria evolved many ways to invade, colonize and survive in the host tissue. Such complex infection strategies of other bacteria are not present in the cell-wall less Mycoplasmas.

Outcomes of a Routine Screening Protocol to Prevent Metamycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study analyzed outcomes of an early Mollicute (Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp.) screening protocol using BAL PCR with preemptive treatment and ammonia monitoring in lung transplant recipients. This appears to be a practical and reasonably effective approach for preventing early Mollicute infection and hyperammonemia syndrome.

Assessment of cow and farm level risk factors associated with Ureaplasma diversum in pasture-based dairy systems - A field study

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2017
Potential risk factors for Ureaplasma diversum in the vaginal mucus of 1,238 dairy cows were included in a multivariate logistic regression model, based on the cow level (i.e., granular vulvovaginitis [+GVV], yearly milk production [4500 kg or more ...

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.
