A Compendium for Mycoplasma pneumoniae [PDF]
Historically, atypical pneumonia was a term used to describe an unusual presentation of pneumonia. Currently, it is used to describe the multitude of symptoms juxtaposing the classic symptoms found in cases of pneumococcal pneumonia.

Salmonids are important sources of protein for a large proportion of the human population. Mycoplasma species are a major constituent of the gut microbiota of salmonids, often representing the majority of microbiota.

Taxonomy of the Feline Mycoplasmas Mycoplasma felifaucium, Mycoplasma feliminutum, Mycoplasma felis, Mycoplasma gateae, Mycoplasma leocaptivus, Mycoplasma leopharyngis, and Mycoplasma simbae by 16S rRNA Gene Sequence Comparisons [PDF]
The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of eight mycoplasmas isolated from felids was determined and used for taxonomic comparisons. A signature nucleotide sequence motif and overall sequence similarity to other mollicutes positioned Mycoplasma felifaucium, Mycoplasma felis, Mycoplasma leocaptivus, Mycoplasma leopharyngis, and Mycoplasma simbae in

Sequences of the 16S rRNA genes and phylogeny of the goat mycoplasmas Mycoplasma adleri, Mycoplasma auris, Mycoplasma cottewii and Mycoplasma yeatsii [PDF]
The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA genes from the type strains of four goat mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma adleri, Mycoplasma auris, Mycoplasma cottewii and Mycoplasma yeatsii, were determined by direct solid-phase DNA sequencing. Polymorphisms were found in two of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, showing the existence of two different rRNA operons.

Phylogenetic Relationships of the Porcine Mycoplasmas Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma hyopharyngis [PDF]
The phylogenetic positions of the porcine mycoplasmas Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma hyopharyngis were determined by using PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene sequences. M. hyosynoviae is a member of the Mycoplasma hominis group, while M. hyopharyngis belongs to the Mycoplasma fermentans group of mollicutes.

Mapping phosphoproteins in Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae [PDF]
Abstract Background Little is known regarding the extent or targets of phosphorylation in mycoplasmas, yet in many other bacterial species phosphorylation is known to play an important role in signaling and regulation of cellular processes. To determine the prevalence of phosphorylation in mycoplasmas, we examined the

Mycoplasma genitalium: A Review.
Mycoplasma genitalium is a fastidious organism of the class Mollicutes, the smallest prokaryote capable of independent replication. First isolated in 1981, much is still unknown regarding its natural history in untreated infection.

Mycoplasmas and arthritis [PDF]
AbstractThe role of mycoplasmal infection in human beings with rheumatoid arthritis and Reiter's syndrome was studied by three methods. First, specimens of synovial fluid were inoculated directly onto mycoplasmal media, and after appropriate incubation, examined for growth of mycoplasmal colonies.
