[1] The absence of peptidoglycan makes them naturally resistant to antibiotics such as the beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis.

Many antibiotics kill bacteria by weakening the cell wall. However, mycoplasma bacteria lack this cellular structure causing some antibiotics, like penicillin, to be ineffective treatment options. [26] Oral tetracyclines have historically been the drugs of choice for use against urogenital and systemic infections due to M. hominis. [11]
