Introduction and Historical Aspects ALTHOUGH the first isolation of a mycoplasma from a human being, a patient with a genital infection,1 was reported in 1937, it is only in the past few years that convincing evidence has appeared linking these organisms to disorders of the human genital tract.

Abstract Mycoplasmas are the smallest self-replicating prokaryotes. They are devoid of cell walls, with the plasticity of their outer membrane favouring pleomorphism, although some have a characteristic flask-shaped appearance. Mycoplasmas recovered from humans belong to the genera Mycoplasma (14 species and one candidatus species) and ...

The smallest free-living, self-replicating organisms known, the mycoplasmas have been the subject of intense research. Of the 12 species that have been found in association with humans, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, M. hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum have been clearly shown to have pathogenic properties. The newly described M. genitalium may also have the

SummaryThe first described pathogenic organisms that caused urethritis were Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. The significance of detecting mycoplasma with genital swabs remained unclear for a long time. Culture can differentiate between Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis.

Mycoplasma infection of cell cultures is widespread and has major detrimental effects on cellular physiology and metabolism. Since cell culture is used extensively, both in research and in industrial production processes, questions of primary concern arise, such as: how can mycoplasma contamination be detected; what are the effects of such ...

SUMMARY: Nuclease activity was observed in several saprophytic and parasitic Mycoplasma organisms; the nucleases of Mycoplasma laidlawii were studied in detail. Nuclease activity of this organism was highest at the early logarithmic phase of growth, and was found mainly the soluble fraction of the organisms.

Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on the physiology of Mycoplasmas. The physiology of mycoplasmas, the smallest organisms capable of autonomous growth, is of special interest in view of their extremely simple structure and limited biochemical activities.

Mycoplasma genitalium was initially isolated from men with nongonococcal urethritis in 1980. Subsequent studies to assess the association of M. genitalium with human disease were inhibited however because on repeated attempts the organism proved extremely difficult to culture.

Haemotrophic mycoplasmas: Recent advances in Mycoplasma suis
Veterinary Microbiology, 2008Haemotrophic mycoplasmas (haemoplasmas) are uncultivable, small epicellular, cell wall less, tetracycline-sensitive bacteria that attach to the surface of host erythrocytes. Today, haemotrophic mycoplasmas are found in a large number of animals, with Mycoplasma suis being the porcine pathogen.
