支原体，或柔膜菌，形成一大群能够感染人类、动物和植物的原核生物。尽管这些微生物缺乏坚硬的细胞壁（这使它们明显不同于革兰氏阴性菌和革兰氏阳性菌），但它们不仅仅是“圆袋”，正如乔西·博夫在本书前言中非常恰当地评论的那样。事实上，一些支原体种类具有非常独特的形状，并具有用于宿主细胞粘附的专门结构。这本关于支原体的新书由来自六个国家的34位作者编写，他们总结和讨论了支原体学中当前重要的许多主题，包括分子生物学（第1-4章），细胞生物学（第5-8章）和致病性和控制（第9-16章）。
Mycoplasmas, or mollicutes, form a large group of prokaryotes that are capable of infecting humans, animals, and plants. Despite the fact that these microbes lack a rigid cell wall (which make them clearly distinct from gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria), they are not just “round bags,” as Josy Bove so aptly remarked in the foreword to this book. In fact, some mycoplasma species have quite unique shapes and possess specialized structures for host cell adherence. This new book on mycoplasmas has been prepared by 34 authors from six countries who summarize and discuss numerous topics of current significance in mycoplasmology, including aspects of molecular biology (chapters 1–4), cell biology (chapters 5–8), and pathogenicity and control (chapters 9–16).
