What are Mycoplasma?
– Simple prokaryocytes, lacking a rigid cell wall
– Relying on their hosts for many nutrients as their biosynthetic capabilities are limited – Over 180 recognized species 
– Cannot be detected by visual inspection or microscope.
– Lacks a rigid wall, hence not susceptible to routine antibiotics
