| mycoplasma | Prokaryotic microorganisms lacking cell walls and therefore resistant to many antibiotics. Formerly known as pleuro pneumonia like organisms (PPLO). A causative agent of pneumonia in humans and some domestic animals, is Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Troublesome contaminants of animal cell cultures, in which they may grow attached or close to cell surfaces, subtly altering properties of the cells, but escaping detection unless specifically monitored. Similar organisms, spiroplasms cause various diseases in plants. (18 Nov 1997) |

| Mycoplasma agalactiae | A bacterial species causing contagious agalactia of sheep and goats, a common disease in the Mediterranean region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma buccale | A bacterial species which is an infrequent parasitic inhabitant of the human oropharynx; it is the predominant mycoplasma in the oropharynx of nonhuman primates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma conjunctivae subsp. ovis | A bacterial subspecies associated with pinkeye of sheep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma faucium | A species which is a rare member of the normal flora of the human oropharynx; it is occasionally found in the oropharynx of nonhuman primates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycoplasma fermentans | A species of the genus mycoplasma, originally isolated infrequently from the lower genital tract of humans, and possessing uncertain pathogenicity. The incognitus strain of m. Fermentans has been identified in necrotizing lesions of multiple organs from aids and non-aids patients dying of an acute influenza-like disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Mycoplasma hyosynoviae | A bacterial species found in the joints and respiratory tract of swine, and associated with arthritis and polyserositis in domestic pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycoplasma infections | Infections with species of the genus mycoplasma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Mycoplasma laidlawii | An organism originally isolated from sewage, manure, humus, and soil, but recently found as a parasite in mammals and birds. (12 Dec 1998) |
