Mycoplasma buccale is a species of bacteria in the genus Mycoplasma . This genus of bacteria lacks a cell wall around their cell membrane. [1] Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. Mycoplasma are the smallest bacterial cells yet discovered, [2] can survive without oxygen and are typically about 0. 1  μm in diameter.

It was first described in 1974 and is considered a rare inhabitant of humans. [3] [4] The type strain is strain ATCC 23636 = CIP 105530 = IFO (now NBRC) 14851 = NCTC 10136. [5] This species is noted for its ability to recover from the damaging effects of UV light, which usually is fatal to other mycoplasma species tested. [6]
