Mycoplasma penetrans is a species of Gram-positive bacteria. It is pathogenic, though many infected show no symptoms. It is a sexually transmitted disease though an infant may be infected during birth. It has an elongated shape and its cells possess two internal compartments, one packed with granules, the other filled with coarse granules (consistent with ribosomal structures). The organism has properties of adherence, hemadsorption and cytadsorption and invades different types of mammalian cells. The type strain is strain GTU-54-6A1 (= ATCC 55252).This particular species is a sexually transmitted disease and one cause of pelvic inflammatory disease.
