Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasmas can only adhere to receptors on the surface of epithelial cells in the respiratory or urogenital tracts and do not enter tissues and blood. The reasons for cell damage caused by mycoplasmas are as follows: Mycoplasmas adhering to the surface of host cells absorb nutrients from the cells, obtain lipids and cholesterol from the cell membrane, causing cell damage; toxic substances produced by mycoplasma metabolism, such as Mycoplasma neurolyticum, can produce neurotoxins, leading to cell membrane damage; Ureaplasma contains urease, which can hydrolyze urea to produce a large amount of ammonia, exerting toxic effects on cells.
