The Role of Lipoproteins in Mycoplasma-Mediated Immunomodulation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Mycoplasma infections, such as walking pneumonia or pelvic inflammatory diseases, are a major threat to public health. Despite their relatively small physical and genomic size, mycoplasmas are known to elicit strong host immune responses, generally ...

Inflammation-inducing Factors of Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes mycoplasmal pneumonia in human, mainly causes pneumonia in children, although it occasionally causes disease in infants and geriatrics. Some pathogenic factors produced by M.

Utilisation of Glucose by Mycoplasma Suipneumoniae and Mycoplasma Flocculare [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1978 The utilisation of glucose by Mycoplasma suipneumoniae and Mycoplasma flocculare was examined by chemical determination of glucose disappearance during growth, and by examination for hexokinase activity in cell preparations. Both species degraded glucose during growth and possessed hexokinase activity as evidence of the presence of a glycolytic pathway.

Glycerol metabolism and its implication in virulence in Mycoplasma.
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2017 Glycerol and glycerol-containing compounds such as lipids belong to the most abundant organic compounds that may serve as nutrient for many bacteria. For the cell wall-less bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma, glycerol derived from phospholipids of their ...

Polyamines in mycoplasmas and in mycoplasma-infected tumour cells [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1982 Three out of four different mycoplasma strains analysed for the polyamine contents contained relatively high concentrations of putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine. In addition to ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) activity, the mycoplasmas also exhibited comparable or higher lysine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.18) activity fully resistant to ...

Synonymy of Mycoplasma arginini and Mycoplasma leonis [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1972 Mycoplasma arginini Barile et al. 1968 and Mycoplasma leonis Heyward et al. 1969 are regarded as synonyms on the basis of comparisons of the original species descriptions and of the serological and biochemical characteristics of authentic strains, including the type strains, of each of the organisms.

Pathogenesis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae: An update
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2016 Genus Mycoplasma, belonging to the class Mollicutes, encompasses unique lifeforms comprising of a small genome of 8,00,000 base pairs and the inability to produce a cell wall under any circumstances.

Insights into the pathogenesis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Molecular Medicine Reports, 2016 Mycoplasma are the smallest prokaryotic microbes present in nature. These wall-less, malleable organisms can pass through cell filters, and grow and propagate under cell-free conditions in vitro.

Aminopeptidase Activity of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma bovirhinis, Mycoplasma dispar and Mycoplasma bovis [PDF]
Microbiology, 1980 Aminopeptidase activity was demonstrated in extracts of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma bovirhinis, M. bovis and M. dispar. The enzyme specificity, which differed amongst the mycoplasma species examined, was characterized using 19 aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides as substrates.
