About Mycoplasma Pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common bacterial cause of respiratory infections. It has no cell wall, so it cannot be detected with Gram staining.
Pneumonia develops in 5–10% of infections, and rare complications can affect the heart, nervous system and skin. It spreads from person to person through respiratory secretions.
