Mapping phosphoproteins in Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2007
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

Spread of multidrug resistance among Ureaplasma serovars, Tunisia

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2020
Background Ureaplasma spp. have been implicated in a variety of clinical conditions and certain serovars are likely to be disease-associated. Hence, the ascending trend of Ureaplasma spp. resistance to antimicrobials should deserve more attention.

Suppression-subtractive hybridization as a strategy to identify taxon-specific sequences within the Mycoplasma mycoides Cluster: design and validation of an M. capricolum subsp. capricolum-specific PCR assay [PDF]

, 2008
The phylogenetically related Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum and M. mycoides subsp. mycoides biotype Large Colony are two small-ruminant pathogens involved in contagious agalactia. Their respective contributions to clinical outbreaks are not well

Hemotrophic mycoplasmas induce programmed cell death in red blood cells [PDF]

, 2011
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (HM) are uncultivable bacteria found on and in the red blood cells (RBCs). The main clinical sign of HM infections is the hemolytic anemia. However, anemia-inducing pathogenesis has not been totally clarified. In this work we used

Prevalence and phylogeny of Chlamydiae and hemotropic mycoplasma species in captive and free-living bats

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Bats are hosts for a variety of microorganisms, however, little is known about the presence of Chlamydiales and hemotropic mycoplasmas. This study investigated 475 captive and free-living bats from Switzerland, Germany, and Costa Rica for ...

Integrating the Human and Animal Sides of Mycoplasmas Resistance to Antimicrobials

Antibiotics, 2021
Mycoplasma infections are frequent in humans, as well as in a broad range of animals. However, antimicrobial treatment options are limited, partly due to the lack of a cell wall in these peculiar bacteria.

Phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas [PDF]

, 2010
With their reduced genome bound by a single membrane, bacteria of the Mycoplasma species represent some of the simplest autonomous life forms. Yet, these minute prokaryotes are able to establish persistent infection in a wide range of hosts, even in the ...

Occurrence, plasticity and evolution of the vpma gene family, a genetic system devoted to high frequency surface variation in Mycoplasma agalactiae [PDF]

, 2009
Mycoplasma agalactiae, an important pathogen of small ruminants, exhibits a very versatile surface architecture by switching ON-OFF multiple, related lipoproteins (Vpmas).

A Bioguided Approach for the Screening of Antibacterial Compounds Isolated From the Hydroalcoholic Extract of the Native Brazilian Bee’s Propolis Using Mollicutes as a Model

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Nature is a vast source of medicinal substances, including propolis, which has been extensively investigated. Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees from the exudates of plants that they collect and modify in their jaws; it is a rich and ...

Functional Characterization of the Cell Division Gene Cluster of the Wall-less Bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
It is well-established that FtsZ drives peptidoglycan synthesis at the division site in walled bacteria. However, the function and conservation of FtsZ in wall-less prokaryotes such as mycoplasmas are less clear.
