Abstract
THE relationship of the micro-organisms of the pleuropneumonia group (PPLO, Mycoplasmatales) to the true bacteria is uncertain. Two general explanations have been advanced to explain the nature of this group and its relation to other micro-organisms1: one holds that pleuropneumonia organisms are a natural biological class; the other that PPLO are an assemblage of the stable L forms of various bacteria.
