What group of antibiotics would mycoplasma be resistant to?

Mycoplasma lack cell walls. Therefore, any antibiotic that targets the cell wall of bacteria would be ineffective to mycoplasma. Examples are beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin. Beta-lactam antibiotics target the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall.

How does antibiotics fight a cold?

Antibiotics work against bacterial infections only. They either prevent the bacteria from multiplying or they affect the cell contents of the bacteria and stop the bacteria from constructing their cell wall. However, antibiotics won't work against cold because common cold is caused by a virus. Since virus contains only RNA and is non-living outside host cell, i.e.,there is no cell wall in viruses. so, antibiotics do not work against them. Therefore, it is not advisable to have antibiotics to fight off a cold.

Why are mycoplasmas resistant to antibiotics that interfere with cell wall synthesis?

Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria which lack a cell wall.[1] Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.


Is there any similarity between bacterial cell wall and plant cell wall?

No, there is no similarity in bacterial cell walls and plant cell walls. They are different morphologically and also in chemical composition; plant cell walls are made up of cellulose, whereas bacterial cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan (also known as murein).
