Mycoplasma

Mycoplasma:

Nocard and Roux introduced mycoplasma 100 years back. Such organisms passed via bacteria stopping filter. It caused pleuropneumonia in cattle and was also termed as “Pleuropneumonia like organisms” (i.e., PPLO). They were also termed as Eton’s agents. They are pathogens of respiratory and urogenital tracts. In humans, Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes pneumonia. Ureaplasma urealyticum has been related with non-gonococcal urethritis in men. M. hominis caused post partum fever in women as well in uterine tube infections.
