Freundt et al. 1974

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]
