Question

Which antibiotics may be completely ineffective in treating a mycoplasma infection?

Answer 1

I prefer beta-lactum antibiotics like penicillin

Answer 2

Mycoplasma infections are normally treated using antibiotics. But since mycoplasmas do not have cell walls, they are naturally resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics (these are antibiotics which have a beta-lactam ring in their molecular structure) such as penicillin, penicillin derivatives, cephalosporins, monobactams and carbapenems.
