What is mycoplasma eplasma

Mycoplasma chlamydia infection in women is a very common disease, which is mainly transmitted through sexual activity, and can lead to various diseases after the disease, which has serious consequences for women's health.However, women do not know much about the situation of mycoplasma chlamydia, which is not conducive to the prevention and treatment of the disease. So, what is Mycoplasma eplasma? Let's take a look.

Female mycoplasma chlamydia is a widespread organism in nature, and it is not surprising that mycoplasma and chlamydia are found in the human body, and the human body's immunity is reduced, and they may reproduce and develop diseases.

Morphology and structure

Mycoplasma: The diameter is 0.2~0.3um, the structure is relatively simple, most of them are spherical, there is no cell wall, and there is only a three-layer structure of the cell membrane, so it has great variability.

Chlamydia: only O.3-0.5um in diameter, mostly spherical and heap-shaped, with similar cell wall structure, containing DNA, RNA and nucleoproteosomes. Chlamydia has two forms of existence, which are called protoplasma and primordial bodies. The protoplasma is infectious, and it is a spherical cell that cannot be moved. The protoplasma gradually elongates to form non-infectious individuals called protozosomes, which are thin-walled, spherobular cells with large bodies.

Pathogenesis

Pathogenesis of chlamydia: it can inhibit the metabolism of infected cells, lysify and destroy cells and lead to the release of lytic enzymes, cytotoxic effects of metabolites, causing allergic reactions and autoimmunity.

The pathogenic mechanism of mycoplasma: it does not invade the body's tissues and blood, but causes cell damage through different mechanisms after the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract or genitourinary tract adhere and settle, such as obtaining lipids and cholesterol on the cell membrane to cause membrane damage, and releasing neurotoxins, phosphatases and hydrogen peroxide.

Mode of transmission

The source of infection of non-gonococcal urethritis is the patient, mainly through sexual relations, like other sexually transmitted diseases, it is more likely to occur in the sexually active period of young and middle-aged people, one husband and wife are prone to infect the other party, and pregnant women infected with chlamydia and mycoplasma can infect newborns during delivery.

Mode of transmission:

(1) Direct sexual contact infection, sexual intercourse with a patient with non-gonococcal urethritis.

(2) Indirect contact with infection, using clothes, bedding, towels, bathtubs, flush toilets, etc., used by patients with non-gonococcal urethritis.

(3) Birth tract infection, women with non-gonococcal urethritis infect newborns through the birth canal, and the fingers of obstetricians and gynecologists and mothers are also an important way to bring pathogens to newborns. Mycoplasma can be isolated from amniotic fluid, placenta, and fetal blood in the presence of intact membranes, thus demonstrating that fetal infection can also occur in utero.
