Hidden Dangers in Water-Damaged Homes: Mold and Actinomycetes

Mycoplasma Infections: More Than Just a Persistent Cough

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Mycoplasmas are unique bacteria characterized by the absence of a cell wall. Instead, they have a cytoplasmic membrane, which makes them distinct from microorganisms. This feature complicates their detection by the immune system and renders antibiotics targeting the cell wall ineffective. However, drugs such as tetracyclines and macrolides, which act on other mechanisms like protein synthesis, remain effective against these microorganisms. Mycoplasmas can cause...
