This book brings together an international cast of experts from around the world: France, Australia, Japan, United States, Austria to present their latest research findings. As such, this book represents the state of the art on research into mollicutes. The book is broken down into three sections, one each on Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and finally Pathogenicity and Control.

Of particular concern is those bacteria that can infect humans, animals and plants. The treatment of these varies from studies done down at the gene sequencing level to studies conducted in attempts to relate mycoplasmas to diseases such as AIDS or Gulf War Veterans Illness.

The material in this book is new enough that it needs to be viewed as a snapshot of the technology as it exists today. Much of this material will be consolidated into accepted theories over time and will eventually become standard information. At this time, however, this is the best information that we have on this rapidly changing field.
