Effects of mycoplasma infection on the host organism response via p53/NF‐κB signaling

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasmas are bacteria lacking the cell wall, which is the major characteristic of this taxonomic class (Mollicutes). Among bacteria, mycoplasmas possess the smallest genome known for free-living organisms. This feature limits the autonomy of bacteria and makes them increasingly susceptible to changes in the host organism.
