The recent sequencing of the entire genomes of Mycoplasma genitalium and M.
pneumoniae has attracted considerable attention to the molecular biology of mycoplasmas …

The genital mycoplasmas represent a complex and unique group of microorganisms that
have been associated with a wide array of infectious diseases in adults and infants. The lack …

Mycoplasmas are most unusual self-replicating bacteria, possessing very small genomes,
lacking cell wall components, requiring cholesterol for membrane function and growth, using …

The complete genomic sequence of an intracellular bacterial pathogen, Mycoplasma
penetrans HF‐2 strain, was determined. The HF‐2 genome consists of a 1 358 633 bp …

Rapid identification of Mycoplasma bovis infections in cattle is a key factor to guide
antimicrobial therapy and biosecurity measures. Recently, Nanopore sequencing became …

Mycoplasmas typically have a number of distinct lipoproteins anchored on the outer face of
the plasma membrane. These surface antigens have a potent modulin activity and are …

Recently, we reported the purification to homogeneity and characterization of Ca2+-and
Mg2+-dependent endonuclease P40 produced by Mycoplasma penetrans (M. Bendjennat …

HIV infection is associated with immune activation, which in turn stimulates HIV replication.
Certain other co-infections cause immune activation and may contribute to an increased …

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) are characterised by a
lack of consistent laboratory and clinical abnormalities. Although they are distinguishable as …

The major nuclease from Mycoplasma penetrans has been purified to homogeneity. The
enzyme seems to be present as a membrane-associated precursor of 50 kDa and as a …
