Mycoplasma pirum has been reported to infects immune deficient people. It is a unique pathogen that mainly affects genitals or urinary tract of the patients. This bacterium cause diseases mostly in men compared to women. And people undergoing treatment for AIDS are the most affected victims of this pathogen, it is also resistant to modern antibiotics that aims to lyse the cell walls of bacterium and led treatments become complicated.
Some strains of Mycoplasma pirum has been reported that it may survive in mal nutrition individuals as in dormant states. HIV patients have shown high mortality rate with Mycoplasma pirum infections. Still its prevalence and surveillance data are lacking.
Mycoplasma pirum is considered as possible threat in vulnerable population. No outbreaks are reported in literature, but It is critical in healthcare to treat immune compromised patients and monitor them regularly, as they are at higher risks.
Mycoplasma pirum change its structure and appearance based on culture medium and growth conditions. The cytoskeleton helps in movement and involves in binary fission of cell division, hence forming a unique structure and adaptations.
Mycoplasma pirum do not have cell wall, the plasma membrane of the bacterium comprises the external layer. Mycoplasma pirum’s genetic composition consists of a non nuclear membraned, single DNA strand and also a 70S type ribosomes. This pathogen doesn’t have membrane bound organelles and nucleus.
Mycoplasma pirum consist of antigenic markers like P36 antigen that is identified on the external cellular layer which has a crucial function to trigger innate immune reaction in the human body. The outer layer of M. pirum is enclosed with complex peptide bonds and sugar molecules which resists immunomodulation and helps overcome phagocytosis.
Mycoplasma pirum is compared with other species like Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae with its genetic composition, almost similar to these species and are concluded to cause same diseases. The first isolated stain of Mycoplasma pirum was named as HRC 70-159 and have been stored in other collections like ATCC 25960 and NCTC 11702 which are been classified under Mycoplasmoidaceae family.
Mycoplasma pirum is transmitted from respiratory droplets and close contact with immune deficient people or HIV infected patients. After penetrating to human body, this bacterium holds grip in epithelium tissues of respiratory tract and starts its interaction.
The sickness-ridden cells are left with basic changes and metabolic imbalance ensuing in depletion of required nutrients in the host cells and cytoskeleton rearrangements. Mycoplasma pirum also blocks the cell death mechanisms and pathways by triggering inflammation responses. These bacteria can alter normal cell division pathways through molecular interactions and resists programmed cell death in affected tissues. Further it leads to uncontrolled multiplication of host cells and abnormal growth.
Mycoplasma pirum affects various organs in human body and can cause opportunistic infections. This pathogen is a urogenital mycoplasma member and mainly affects weak immunity patients. In Adults and children, severe mycoplasma infections require hospitalization.
The human body provides active defense against M. pirum. The pattern recognition receptors identify foreign substances and triggers natural killer cells and macrophages to consume those virulent things rapidly. The necrosis factor-alpha and interleukins cells are released as a chemical molecule at infection site which leads to inflammation.
The T cells and lymphocytes activates cellular immune reactions as a part of adaptive immunity. It defends the cellular organelles and tissues. Antibodies are release by B cells that traps the antigenic parts of the Mycoplasma. Also, hyper actions can be caused by antibody- antigens reactions which leads to joint inflammation and allergies.
Mycoplasma pirum causes upper respiratory issues in humans. And it can migrate to other organs like digestive system, tendons & muscles, and kidneys. Mycoplasma pirum can also cause pneumonia.
It also causes acute bronchitis in AIDS patients with issues like breathing issues dry cough, and high fever. This pathogen mainly causes respiratory infections.
Mycoplasma pirum is diagnoses using culture method. Mycoplasma is slow growing pathogen, and culture tests has some drawbacks, these tests can show the colonies of Mycoplasma but impractical to take immediate decisions for treatments. The antibodies can be detected from the blood cultures, but it does not provide accurate results which require advanced methods to conclude.
Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests or NAATs method involves precise identification of the genome of Mycoplasma pirum. The throat swabs and nose fluids are used as the sample, this method is highly specific and provides accurate results.
In serious instances, the patient’s diagnosis may involve measures like blood counts, and pulse oximetry. Other test methods include chest X-rays and biochemical analysis.
Washing feet and hands after coughing or sneezing are crucial. Use hand sanitizers if accidently touched or interacted with contaminated things or got exposure to patient environment.
Enclose masks or other coverings to avoid inhaling contaminated respiratory droplets. Good respiratory etiquettes help to restrict the direct transmission. One must discard sneezed or coughed tissue papers properly. These directions promote good community health.
