    Mycoplasma pneumoniae Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is unique because of its small genome and physical size. The bacterium contains only 500-2300 Kba in its genome that produces about 700 different proteins. Its reduced genome has been clearly mapped. M. pneumoniae size range from 0.2 to 0.8 micrometer and are capable of passing through most filters designed to remove bacteria. The bacterium is the smallest living organism capable of replicating itself. The bacterium lacks a cell wall but

    Introduction: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an atypical bacterium that may result in lung infection by causing damage in the lining of the respiratory tract. Researches revealed that 20% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are caused by M.pneumoniae. 10% of these cases develop M.pneumoniae infections (URT diseases) and about 10% of infections remain asymptomatic. Patients that are immunocompromised, recovering from a respiratory sickness, or have asthma are more likely to develop M.pneumoniae
