Linked from

The 10 pages that link to Mycoplasma, each with the reason it gives.

• PeptidoglycanCompared with: Their absence of peptidoglycan makes them naturally resistant to cell-wall-targeting antibiotics.

• Bacterial cell wallCompared with: Its wall-free cells show that bacteria can persist without the usual rigid structure.

• BacteriaBroader topic: They are bacteria that break the common pattern of a peptidoglycan wall.

• Cell wallCompared with: Mycoplasmas show that bacteria can live without the usual rigid wall.

• BacteriumBroader topic: They show that a bacterial cell wall is not universal.

• Gram stainCompared with: Without the usual wall structure, they do not yield a typical Gram-stain result.

• Bacterial cell envelopeCompared with: Its membrane-based boundary shows that a bacterial envelope need not include a wall.

• Mycoplasma pneumoniaeNarrower topic: M. pneumoniae is one member of this broader genus.

• Bacterial cell structureBroader topic: These bacteria show that a bacterial cell wall is common, but not universal.

• ThermoplasmaCompared with: Its wall-less cells invite comparison, but Mycoplasma is bacterial and uses a different membrane strategy.
