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.

Does Amoxicillin treat Microplasma Pneumonia?
I believe you mean Mycoplasma.No,it doesn't.
What is femtolaser surgery?
An area of growing interest is the use of ultra-short pulsed (femtoseconds) lasers for surgery and tissue ablation (Juhasz et al., 2002). The advantages offered by these ultra-short pulses are that cuts or ablations can be made more precisely, with very little collateral damage. The mechanism of laser-tissue interactions that occur using ultra-short laser pulses is also different from the photothermal and photoablation mechanisms discussed above because they pertain to tissue contouring and welding. The high peak power of the ultrashort pulses lead to photodisruption, discussed in Chapter 6. The mechanism of photodisruption involves laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB), in which a strongly focused short-duration pulse generates a high-intensity electric field and leads to efficient multiphoton ionization and subsequent avalanche ionization to produce a hot microplasma. This hot microplasma expands with supersonic velocity, displacing (ablating or cutting) the surrounding tissue. Since the displacement is adiabatic (i.e., it occurs on a time scale short compared to the local thermal diffusion time), the effect of ablation or cutting is spatially confined and any spread due to thermal damage is also confined. The wide availability of mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers producing ~100-fesec pulses at ~800nm has provided much of the impetus for using them for femtolaser surgery or tissue ablation.
Prokaryotic microorganism which may cause disease in humans and animals?
This is such a general question, there are too many answers to list here. Prokaryotic organisms are all bacterial species and since there is such a vast amount of bacterial species on the planet, there are just as many that can be pathogenic to humans and animals. Staph infections are caused by Stapphylococcusbacteria; food poisoning is caused by several species of bacteria, such as Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, or Bacillus cereu.
Describe the size of a cell?
Humans are made up of a variety of different cells, all of which are different sizes, shapes and have different functions. The average size of a human cell is between 10 and 100 micrometers. However nerve cells and skin cells can be larger than this.
