Many cause diseases in humans, attaching to cells in the respiratory or urogenital tracts, particularly species of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. Phytoplasma and Spiroplasma are plant pathogens associated with insect vectors.Whereas formerly the trivial name \"mycoplasma\" has commonly denoted any member of the class Mollicutes, it now refers exclusively to a member of the genus Mycoplasma."@en }
