Mycoplasma Pneumonia Infection

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a type of typical bacteria that commonly causes mild infections of the respiratory system. In fact, pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumonia is sometimes referred to as “walking pneumonia” since symptoms tend to be milder than pneumonia caused by other germs. Mycoplasma is spread through contact with droplets from the nose and throat of infected people especially when they cough and sneeze. Transmission is thought to require prolonged close contact with an infected person. Spread in families, schools and institutions occur slowly. In the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia, antimicrobials against Mycoplasma pneumonia are bacteriostatic, not bactericidal. Tetracycline and erythromycin compounds are very effective. The second-generation tetracycline’s (doxycycline) and macrolides are the drugs of choice.
