Mycoplasmatota is a phylum of bacteria that contains the class Mollicutes. The phylum was originally named "Tenericutes" (tener cutis: soft skin). ^{[5] [4] [6]} Notable genera include Mycoplasma , Spiroplasma , Ureaplasma , and Candidatus Phytoplasma. Moreover, it lacks a cell wall, it's a small cell and genome sizes, and a low guanine plus cytosine ratio. Due being the one of the smallest bacteria animals are prone to a disease without showing any type of symptoms, thus serving as carriers and ultimately contribution to the spread of disease.
