- Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. ...
- (Mycoplasmas) and ureaplasmas, which range in size from 150 to 850 nanometres, are among the smallest known free-living microorganisms. ...
- (Mycoplasmosis) Mycoplasma Pulmonis is a 'chronic' disease - the symptoms develop over a long period of time and, frustratingly, there may be no symptoms at all as the disease initiates.
- Very common sexually transmitted disease or urinary tract infection caused by a bacteria-like organism in the urethra and reproductive system.
- An organism capable of causing mastitis.
- Degenerate bacteria that do not have cell walls. Mycoplasmas are smaller than bacteria but larger than viruses. They cause animal and human diseases.
- A microorganism, of which there are many varieties (e.g., Mycoplasma penetrans), that usually does not cause disease in people with healthy immune systems. Mycoplasma is believed by some to be a co-factor in the development of AIDS.
- Any of a group of single-celled organisms which possess the smallest known cells. Usually parasitic; probably bacterial in origin. ...
