Mycoplasma

Mycoplasma is the smallest free-living cell, and it was identified in 1980. It can colonize both genders' reproductive organs.

Mycoplasma has potentially underestimated infection that can cause simple illnesses such as bacterial vaginosis, bladder infection, and inflammation of the cervix to more severe conditions such as PID (pelvic inflammatory disease), infertility, and pregnancy and newborn complications.

Mycoplasmas can colonize the genital and urinary tract: Mycoplasma Genitalium and Mycoplasma Hominis.
