mycoplasma/strep

[peglem]

So, Ive been wondering ever since I read a bit on mycoplasma...since mycoplasma is very tiny and goes intracellular, having no cell wall of its own. Is it possible for it to infect other, larger bacteria, like, say strep A? I couldn't find anything on this on pubmed.

I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head but I do remember reading if someone has strep and mycroplasma at the same time, it's becomes a sort of powerhouse infection. It's much harder to erradicate.
