Adherence and Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae: A Review

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 51))

Abstract

Mycoplasmas belong to the class Mollicutes, because they lack a rigid cell wall and do not possess precursors of peptidoglycan. They can rearrange their surface structure in direct response to an outside stimulus. Their limiting membrane is similar to the membrane of animal cells. They are the smallest free-living organisms able to grow on lifeless media.
