The paper describes about the bacteria Mycoplasma, which are present in the form of various bacterial cells (small balls, short filaments) are deprived of their cell walls, which have small size (125-250 nm). Mycoplasmas are adsorbed on the surface of host cells and penetrate into it. The papers describe the basic structure along with the diseases and the uses of Mycoplasma in Veterinary medicines.
Mycoplasma
Introduction
Mycoplasma is a bacterial genus of about 60 species that lack a cell wall and require large sterol compounds for cellular structure.Mycoplasma and the closely related genus Ureaplasma are sometimes grouped generically as mycoplasmas. Both genera cause human disease, mainly in the respiratory and urogental tracts. Because of the association of mycoplasmas with various respiratory tract diseases, this group of microorganisms has also been referred to as pleuropneumonialike organisms (PPLOs).
Discussion
Mycoplasmosis is a disease caused by bacteria belonging to the class Mollicutes, family and genus Mycoplasmataceae Mycoplasma. Now instead of the previously widely used term "mycoplasmosis" is more commonly used term "mycoplasma infection" or "disease associated with mycoplasma." Mycoplasmas - conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. If there is no favorable conditions for their reproduction and the immune system is functioning normally, they do not cause any pathological changes. Most researchers believe that only Mycoplasma genitalium (Mycoplasma genitalium) is the undisputed pathogen.

Most researchers believe that only Mycoplasma genitalium (Mycoplasma genitalium) is the undisputed pathogen. Mycoplasma hominis - part of a group of urogenital mycoplasmas and more often detected in patients with active sexual behavior. Infection occurs primarily through sex, but do not always lead to the development of the disease. Typically, M. hominis is determined by a small amount in the discharge of the vagina in 50-60% of healthy women. However, this is what creates all the conditions for the spread of mycoplasma.
Often, mycoplasmas are attached to various pathogens STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, etc.) and develop combined (associated) infections. The most common disease in which there is almost always M.hominis, is bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Under certain conditions it is possible intrauterine infection of the fetus and newborn infection during the passage through an infected birth canal of the mother. As an opportunistic pathogen, Mycoplasma hominis in immunodeficient conditions can cause PID - inflammatory disease of the pelvic organs (vaginitis, salpingitis, oophoritis, endometritis, etc.). It is the spread of mycoplasma infection in the upper sections of the urogenital tract with the development of PID often leads to violations of reproductive function - miscarriage, infertility.
Transmission of Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma disease-causing urogenital system, transmitted mainly through sexual contact. Possible indirect route of infection of women, especially girls. Infection can be entered by various household items (bedding, pot, medical equipment in the obstetric-gynecological and urological offices in the event that the rules of its disinfection. Mycoplasmas can get into the upper genital tract (infection of the cervical canal, endometrium, fallopian tubes) with sperm carry mycoplasmas. Established infection of the fetus in utero and neonatal infection ...
