Incazelo enemininingwane
I-M. pneumoniae ingabangela inqwaba yezimpawu ezifana ne-primary atypical pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, nesifo somgudu wokuphefumula ophezulu.I-tracheobronchitis ivame kakhulu ezinganeni ezinezivikeli mzimba ezinciphile, futhi kuze kufike ku-18% wezingane ezingenwe yilesi sifo zidinga ukulaliswa esibhedlela.Ngokomtholampilo, i-M. pneumoniae ayikwazi ukuhlukaniswa nenyumoniya ebangelwa amanye amagciwane noma amagciwane.Ukuxilongwa okuqondile kubalulekile ngoba ukwelashwa kokutheleleka kwe-M. pneumoniae ngama-antibiotic e-β-lactam akusebenzi, kuyilapho ukwelashwa ngama-macrolides noma ama-tetracycline kunganciphisa ubude besikhathi sokugula.Ukunamathela kwe-M. pneumoniae ku-epithelium yokuphefumula kuyisinyathelo sokuqala senqubo yokutheleleka.Le nqubo yokunamathisela iwumcimbi oyinkimbinkimbi odinga amaprotheni amaningana e-adhesin, njenge-P1, i-P30, ne-P116.Isigameko sangempela sokutheleleka okuhlobene ne-M. pneumoniae asicacile njengoba kunzima ukuxilonga ezigabeni zokuqala zokutheleleka.
