being commensal, but now there is an even greater body of evidence associated with recent research and newer diagnostic techniques that points to its role as a pathogen in many human diseases. Whether or not to mention the past misconceptions about
Ureaplasma in the article is debatable and it may be appropriate to call it a pathogen for clarity's sake.

single comprehensive resource. The molecular age has brought about dramatic changes in medical microbiology, and great leaps in our understanding of the mechanisms of infectious disease..." Precisely my point about the leaps and bounds that have been made since the sources cited by the previous version of the page
Mycoplasmataceae.
443:
I have updated the article to reflect the current knowledge in this field. Both this page and the page for
Ureaplasma parvum cited sources that were no newer than 2012 - 2014. Given the pace of research on this subject, these sources are outdated and not representative of what has been discovered in

suggests that there is a difference. Which direction the merge goes in a question. I'd think the term 'mycoplama' might be more 'well-known' (basically any site that talks about alt-health hypotheses of mycoplama causing.. all sorts of things.. but I've never even seen the name 'mycoplasmataceae'
453:
I do understand how it is confusing that some sources say that it is a pathogen, while others do not. All recent sources published since the papers that were cited in the article before I edited it have labeled it as a pathogen. That's how science works. There was a body of evidence to support it
473:
This is akin to a review; thus a very high level of evidence supporting this claim. I am not experienced in editing wikipedia articles, this is my first one, but the lack of consensus with recent research struck me as too egregious an error to let stand. I don't know what constitutes an "expert"
463:
The source I cited to support it being labeled a pathogen is a medical textbook, specifically
Molecular Medical Microbiology. Per the description of this book: "Molecular Medical Microbiology was the first book to synthesise the many new developments in both molecular and clinical research in a

Mycoplasma is described as a genus, while Mycoplasmataceae is a family, but nothing I see as to what makes Mycoplama more specific taxonomically.
