Mycoplasma is a distinct genus of bacteria because it lacks a cell wall, making it highly resistant to many common antibiotics. These bacteria have a small genome and make up the smallest self-replicating organisms. Mycoplasma infections can affect various parts of the body, particularly the respiratory and urogenital tracts.
Symptoms of mycoplasma infections can range from minor respiratory discomfort to more serious problems such as pneumonia. Because of the unusual characteristics of these infections, precise diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential.
At Southkenmd.co.uk, we specialize in diagnosing and managing mycoplasma infections. We provide personalized treatments and offer the highest standard of care supported by advanced facilities and a skilled medical team to address your health concerns effectively.
Mycoplasma infection results from a microscopic organism primarily affecting the respiratory system. This infection is easily transmissible, often spreading through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. There are several kinds of Mycoplasma, each passed on in different ways.
The common types include:
Although these are some of the more common strains, there are over 200 known types of Mycoplasma. So, if you suspect a mycoplasma infection, it’s important to book an appointment for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
The symptoms of mycoplasma infections can vary based on the specific strain of bacteria involved. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Mycoplasma primarily transmits through sexual contact, such as oral, vaginal or anal sex. Both sexually active men and women are at risk of contracting the infection. Practicing safe sex and getting regular check-ups can thus help reduce the risk of transmission.

If you notice symptoms like pelvic pain, a burning feeling during urination, or unusual sexual discharge, you should get tested for Mycoplasma. Additionally, if you’ve recently had unprotected sex or believe your partner may be infected, testing is important for your health and peace of mind.
Mycoplasma infections can be treated with antibiotics, as they are caused by bacteria. However, mycoplasma bacteria lack cell walls, so they do not respond to traditional antibiotics like penicillin. Common treatment options include:
Treatment duration mostly ranges from 5 to 10 days, according to the severity of the infection.
