Abstract

The mycoplasmas or more correctly the •"Mycoplasmatales", have been recognized as disease causing agents for over eighty years. The organisms were first isolated from cases of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia and for this reason, subsequent isolates were initially termed pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO). In more recent years numerous additional mycoplasma species have been isolated from animals, birds, man, plants and insects. The group has now been divided into three major families based on morphological and biochemical criteria.
