	Mycoplasma pneumoniae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a very small bacterium, in the class Mollicutes.
		The infection caused by this bacterium is called atypical pneumonia because of its protracted course and lack of sputum production and wealth of extra-pulmonary symptoms.
		Chronic mycoplasma infections have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatological diseases.

	Medmicro Chapter 37
		Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is a disease of the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
		The origin of contaminating mycoplasmas is in components of the culture medium, particularly serum, or in the flora of the technician's mouth, spread by droplet infection.
		Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pathogen of the respiratory tract, adhering to the respiratory epithelium, primarily through the attachment organelle.

		Mycoplasma gallisepticum R is 996,422 bp long with an overall G+C content of 31%, it causes chronic respiratory disease in chickens and other avian species.
		Because it is essential for Mycoplasma to be able to bind to their host cells they have developed special tip organelles for this purpose, with a significant percentage of genes in their genome devoted to this important function.
		Mycoplasma may cause these various diseases, or it may be an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes a host with a weak immune system, and causes a secondary infection.

		M pneumoniae infection is common in school-aged children, with the highest rate of infection in individuals aged 5-20 years, in whom the tendency is to develop bronchitis and pneumonia.
		Although pneumonia is self-limiting and is not life threatening in most patients, treat it with appropriate antimicrobials to shorten the duration of illness and, perhaps, to reduce the spread to contacts.

		We believe that such long-term study about the efficacy of minocycline should be conducted on patients who are positive for mycoplasma and chlamydia genome (since we detect the chlamydia trachomatis genome in blood and joint fluid of 20% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis) and not by random selection of arthritis patients.

	Mycoplasma pneumonia
		The micro-organism Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause pneumonia, though it is possible to be infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae without necessarily developing pneumonia.
		However, close contact is required for transmission, so the virus is more commonly found among members of the same family and in schools and day-care institutions.
		Mycoplasma infections are most common in the 5 to 20 age range, though the disease is usually more dangerous among the middle-aged and elderly.

		About risk factors: Risk factors for Mycoplasma pneumoniae are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but seem to be associated in some way.
		Having a risk factor for Mycoplasma pneumoniae makes the chances of getting a condition higher but does not always lead to Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
		Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you against getting Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
