Which of the following is true about mycoplasma?

  • A.Multiplication is by binary fission
  • B.Totally devoid of cell wall
  • C.Resistant to penicillin and its analogues
  • D.All the above

Answer: D

Correct answer: All the above

All three are true of mycoplasmas: they divide by binary fission, they are entirely without a cell wall, and being wall-less they are inherently resistant to penicillin and every other drug that acts on wall synthesis. They are treated with agents that act elsewhere, such as the macrolides and tetracyclines.
