Talk:Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Bacteria or not?
This article and NIH genome project give the lineage of Mycoplasma as Bacterial. However, Google knol and Medscape state that it is not bacterial (citing, inter alia, lack of cell wall). Could someone elucidate on what appears to be a contradiction? Bongo matic  14:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Older sources often explicitly call it "nonbacterial" (for example, ), but modern sources usually define it as a bacteria, albeit a unusual one. See the first paragraph here for a quick history. --Arcadian (talk) 18:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

There should be a mention that 'erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin' are all macrolides. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.11.13.136 (talk) 11:03, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Pathogenicity Figure
With all due respect to the author, I find the figure "Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in vasculitic/thrombotic disorders" to be hard to read and visually overwhelming. I would suggest replacing it with a different figure if no one objects and a suitable replacement is found. MichaelPlasma (talk) 05:55, 16 November 2021 (UTC) Michael Plasma

Split proposed
A good chunk of content, now marked with split section, are referring exclusively to the disease the pathogen causes in humans. We have the page Mycoplasma pneumonia for that.

It can get a little hard to decide where the bacterial content end and where the disease stuff begins, I'll give you that. Especially when all the reason we care about the bacterium is that it causes issues. Artoria2e5 🌉 14:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
