Abstract:

Mycoplasma is one of the smallest prokaryotic microorganisms without cell wall, and it relies on the cell membrane to maintain individual morphology and physiological functions. Mycoplasma is a pathogenic microorganism, which could cause variety of diseases for both human and animals. It is seriously affected the development of animal husbandry and threatened human health. Diseases caused by Mycoplasma are very difficult to prevent and control due to lack of the sensitive diagnostic tools, the clinical efficacy of antibiotics and vaccine. For further development, it is urgently necessary to undertake an in-depth study of its unclear pathogenesis. As much attention were paid on Mycoplasma infection and some progress were achieved, this article summarizes the mycoplasma-induced host cell apoptosis, autophagy and carcinogenic in order to contribute to Mycoplasma pathogenesis research.
