Abstract

The general characteristics of the Mollicutes class of the family Mycoplasmataceae, the distribution and sources of mycoplasma infection, its clinical features and diagnostic methods are given. In scanning electron microscopy of blood plasma in patients with severe fibrous cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis in the phase of infiltration and seeding, elementary bodies of unidentified L-forms of bacteria and filamentous branching forms with various structures on the surface, presumably cells of mycoplasmas, were identified. All these formations together with mycobacterium tuberculosis form superinfection, which is the cause of the progression and outcome of the tuberculosis process.
