Mycoplasma and chlamydia
In life, we may only care about things and creatures that we can see, touch, or use, but what about those invisible microorganisms? You can't see their world, but they are relevant to us all the time. First of all, let's get to know chlamydia and mycoplasma, chlamydia are mostly globular and heap-shaped, and are obligate intracellular parasites. Mycoplasma has a relatively simple structure, mostly spherical, without a cell wall, and has great variability.
Mycoplasma is another class of microscopic pathogens that are different from bacteria and fungi, there are more than 80 species of mycoplasma, and the mycoplasma related to humans are Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Mycoplasma hominisis (MH), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), the former causes pneumonia, and the latter three cause genitourinary tract infections.
Mycoplasma infection is a sexually transmitted disease. Mycoplasma can be present in healthy carriers, but it is more commonly detected in people with sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, prostitutes, and gonorrhea. The higher the number of sexual partners, the greater the sexual activity index and the higher the infection rate.
Chlamydia is a type of microorganism that is different from both bacteria and viruses and belongs to prokaryotes, i.e., a nucleus that does not form a nuclear membrane inside the cell.
Mycoplasma or chlamydia infection is a non-gonococcal urethritis, a disease corresponding to gonorrhea, and is listed as one of the eight major sexually transmitted diseases by the Ministry of Health in China.
After mycoplasma and chlamydia infect the human body, they first invade columnar epithelial cells and grow and multiply in cells, and then enter the intracellular proliferation of monocyte macrophage systems. Because mycoplasma and chlamydia multiply in cells, they lead to the death of infected cells, and at the same time, they can still evade the host immune defense function and obtain intermittent protection.
The pathogenic mechanism of mycoplasma and chlamydia is to inhibit the metabolism of infected cells, dissolve and destroy cells and lead to the release of lytic enzymes, cytotoxic effects of metabolites, causing allergic reactions and autoimmunity.
The invisible world is full of curiosity, but once you don't pay attention, you will feel that they are very hateful, so how can you avoid the invasion of invisible microorganisms, pay attention to the aspects of it, carry out safe sex, try to abstain from alcohol, do not eat spicy food, drink more water, once infected, do the necessary isolation in the family, bath towels, basins, bathtubs, toilets, etc. are used separately, or disinfected after use, go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, use pH4 weakly acidic feminine care solution for daily genital cleaning, want to be healthier, Be sure to beware of the unknown and known world.
