Answer 1

Answer:

Mycoplasma species are the smallest bacterial cells yet discovered, can survive without oxygen, and come in various shapes. For example, M. genitalium is flask-shaped (about 300 x 600 nm), while M. pneumoniae is more elongated (about 100 x 1000 nm). Hundreds of mycoplasma species infect animals.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a type of “atypical” bacteria that commonly causes mild infections of the respiratory system. ... The most common type of illness caused by these bacteria, especially in children, is tracheobronchitis, commonly called a chest cold.

Several Mycoplasma species can cause disease, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia (formerly known as "walking pneumonia"), and M. genitalium, which has been associated with pelvic inflammatory diseases.
