Mycoplasmataceae is a family of bacteria in the order Mycoplasmatales. This family consists of the genera Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. In 1967, the order Mycoplasmatales was incorporated into the class Mollicutes. Many species are sexually transmitted and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.
The Mycoplasmataceae represent a family of bacteria with two genera, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma, which are among the smallest self-replicating known organisms. They are considered as facultative intracellular pathogens, having the ability to replicate outside and inside host cells.

Oct 19, 2014 · The family Mycoplasmataceae contains more than 160 distinct Mycoplasma species and 8 distinct Ureaplasma species. Because of this large number of species, further classification of Mycoplasma spp. into informal taxa (groups and clusters) was undertaken (see section on “ Phylogeny ”).
Members of the family Mycoplasmataceae are small pleomorphic bacteria that characteristically lack a cell wall. Shapes range from filamentous to spherical, with diameters up to 0.8 µm. The genus Ureaplasma is biochemically unique in that all members possess urease and therefore hydrolyze urea to produce adenosine triphosphate.
