Question

Which of the following antibiotics are used to treat disease caused by the Mycoplasma?

• A. Tetracycline
• B. Erythromycin
• C. Penicillin
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and B

1. Infection caused by Mycoplasm bacteria are the type of bacteria that don't have cell walls. Some of the antibiotics kill the bacteria by weakening the cell wall of the bacteria and so antibiotics like penicilin can't be used.
2. Tetracyclin and erythromycin like antibiotics are usually used for the treatment of infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

So, the correct answer is ' Both A and B'.
