1. Respiratory Infections in Humans: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common species that can infect humans and cause respiratory infections. It is a significant cause of atypical pneumonia, particularly in children and young adults. Infections with M. pneumoniae may lead to symptoms such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.

2. Urogenital Infections in Humans: Mycoplasma genitalium is associated with urogenital infections in humans, including urethritis and other sexually transmitted infections. It can cause symptoms such as urethral discharge and pain during urination.

3. Joint and Systemic Infections: In addition to respiratory and urogenital infections, mycoplasmas have been implicated in joint infections, particularly in children. Mycoplasma infections may also be associated with systemic diseases, although their role in these conditions is not as well-defined.

4. Animal Pathogens: Mycoplasmas are significant pathogens in animals, causing diseases in livestock and domesticated animals. For example, Mycoplasma gallisepticum can cause respiratory infections in birds, and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is associated with respiratory disease in pigs.

5. Plant Pathogens: Some Mycoplasma species are plant pathogens, causing diseases in various crops. They are transmitted by insect vectors and can lead to conditions such as yellows and wilts in plants.

6. Autoimmune Associations: Some studies have suggested a potential link between mycoplasma infections and the development or exacerbation of autoimmune conditions. The mechanisms involved are complex and not fully understood.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
