They form branched, filamentous structures resembling mold mycelium and are capable of producing spores. While many species of actinomycetes naturally occur in the environment and participate in the decomposition of organic matter, certain strains can become pathogenic and pose a threat to human health when they begin to proliferate indoors.

Mycoplasma Infections: More Than Just a Persistent Cough

[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...

Shingles: The Painful Virus That Can Complicate Your Life

[Russian translation] Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the Varicella Zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. After a person has chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the body, hiding in nerve tissues near the spine and brain. Shingles occur when this virus is reactivated, most often in older adults or individuals with weakened immune systems. Where do shingles occur and how do they look? Shingles manifest along the p...
