Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria the cells of which lack a cell wall and are unaffected by many common antibiotics. Several species cause diseases in humans including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.
