Do antibiotics kill Mycoplasma?


Open in App
Solution

Mycoplasma:

  1. Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membranes.
  2. The lack of cell wall makes Mycoplasma resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.
  3. Tetracycline, macrolide, and other antibiotics can still work on Mycoplasma.
  4. Not all antibiotics, but a few can be used to kill Mycoplasma.
