Mycoplasma species are the smallest free-living organisms and are unique among prokaryotes in that they lack a cell wall. This feature is largely responsible for their biologic properties, including lack of a Gram stain reaction and nonsusceptibility to many commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents, including beta-lactams. Mycoplasma organisms are usually associated with mucosae. They usually reside extracellularly in the respiratory and urogenital tracts and rarely penetrate the submucosa, except in the case of immunosuppression or instrumentation, when they may invade the bloodstream and disseminate to numerous organs and tissues. Some species also occur as intracellular pathogens.

Among the 17 species isolated from humans, 4 types of organisms are of major concern. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a well-established pathogen; it is rarely isolated from healthy persons. Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma species, known collectively as the genital mycoplasmal organisms, are generally considered opportunists that cause invasive infections in susceptible populations.

When people get UU , they should avoid having sex and they should try to use the antibiotics to diminish the inflammation.
