The only bacteria that has cholesterol in its plasma membrane?

Mycoplasma bacteria are known for incorporating cholesterol into their plasma membrane. This unique feature helps them to maintain stability and rigidity in the absence of a cell wall.


Disease caused by pplo?

PPLO (now classified as mycoplasma) can cause diseases such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and genital infections in humans. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is especially known for causing respiratory infections like walking pneumonia. Detection and treatment of mycoplasma infections are important to prevent complications.


What is the gram stain of bacterial pneumonia?

Bacterial pneumonia is typically caused by organisms such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. These bacteria can have different Gram stain characteristics: S. pneumoniae is Gram-positive, H. influenzae is Gram-negative, and M. pneumoniae lacks a cell wall and is therefore classified as "neither" in Gram staining.


Is mycoplasma aerobes or anaerobes?

most of them are facultative anaerobes. oxygen is not pioson for them. M. pneumoniae is aerobe. there are also some strict anaerobes in bovine rumen.

Mycoplasma: The mycoplasma are a very large group of bacteria. There are more than 70 types. Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma pneumoniae are among the dozen types of mycoplasma that occur in humans. Mycoplasma hominis is a common inhabitant of the vagina and can cause infections of the female and male genital tracts. Mycoplasma pneumoniae can infect the upper respiratory tract and the lungs. It is a major cause of respiratory infection in children of school age and young adults. It is also a common cause of pneumonia in persons with HIV. Certain antibiotics including tetracycline and erythromycin are frequently used to treat infection with Mycoplasma hominis or Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Mycoplasma are very simple one-celled organisms without an outer membrane. They penetrate and infect individual cells.
