It was possible to confirm the viability of the bacteria, by isolation in milk, where by
mollicutes grew in 26.7% of the goats' milk samples.

Mycoplasmas (mushroom form) are eubacteria included within the class
Mollicutes (from latin mollis = "soft," cutis = "skin"), which comprises the smallest and simplest selfreplicating bacteria.
Many species of these 2 families are vectors of phytopathogenic virus and
mollicutes, which cause severe symptoms in several plant hosts, including maize (Lopes & Oliveira 2004).
They can damage crops by sucking plant sap and transmitting plant disease organisms such as viruses,
mollicutes and bacteria (Nielson 1968; Purcell 1985).
Mollicutes in vaginal microbiology: Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma genitalium.
Based on phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA and/or ribosomal protein gene sequences, phytoplasmas have been placed in the class
Mollicutes (Gundersen, Lee, Rehner, Davis, & Kingsbury, 1994).
Spiroplasmas, arthropod-infecting bacteria of the class
Mollicutes, are similar to mycoplasmas.
Mycoplasma OTUs (class
Mollicutes) were one of the more abundant and consistent members of the core gut microbiome of Crassostrea virginica when environmental oysters were compared with those depurated in sterile chambers for 5 days.
For example, a recent a rapid, new DNA microarray assay has been recently developed for parallel identification of almost 40
mollicutes of animal and human origin (Bottinelli et al., 2017).
Differential pathogenicity of corn stunting
mollicutes to leafhoppers vectors in Dalbulus and Baldulus species.
Ureaplasma urealyticum is a species belonging to the genus Ureaplasma and the family of Mycoplasmataceae in the order mycoplasmalates and class of
Mollicutes of bacteria.
