Study Notes
- Mycoplasma are the smallest free-living bacteria, without a cell wall and resistant to antibiotics.
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen causing atypical pneumonia.
- Rickettsia are small, Gram-negative bacilli transmitted by arthropod bites and cause diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, epidemic typhus, and endemic typhus.
- Chlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular pathogens with a unique developmental cycle, consisting of elementary and reticulate forms.
- Chlamydia trachomatis, C. pneumoniae, and C. psittaci are medically important species causing various diseases like ocular trachoma, urogenital infections, pneumonia, and psittacosis.
- Chlamydia trachomatis infections do not stimulate immunity and can lead to tissue damage upon re-infection.
- Chlamydia trachomatis biovar LGV can cause lymphogranuloma venereum.
- Mycoplasma, Rickettsia, and Chlamydiaceae are all obligate intracellular pathogens.
- Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma are resistant to peptidoglycan inhibitors, while Chlamydiaceae have no peptidoglycans in their cell wall.
- Diagnosis of Mycoplasma infections can be done through serology or nucleic acid amplification tests, and treatment involves erythromycin, doxycycline, or newer fluoroquinolones.
- Chlamydia is a leading bacterial STD globally.
- Ocular trachoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide.
- Chlamydia is endemic in North and sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia, and South America.
- Poor sanitation and hygiene, crowded living conditions are risk factors for chlamydia.
