What is Mycoplasma chlamydia

The impact of the emergence of disease on our body is particularly serious, we must pay attention to the prevention of various diseases in ordinary times, there are many diseases infected with different germs, among which mycoplasma and chlamydia are a common pathogenic bacteria, so, what is mycoplasma chlamydia?Let's take a look.

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.

We now know what mycoplasma chlamydia is, after being infected with such a germ, we must pay attention to it, and we must also carry out formal treatment, especially such diseases will be transmitted, generally mainly for the transmission of sexual life, do not have sex during the disease, and cure in many ways.
