Mycoplasmoidaceae is a family of bacteria under the order Mycoplasmoidales. It contains the genera Eperythrozoon, Malacoplasma, Mycoplasmoides, and Ureaplasma. Members infect animals, including humans.[1] Before 2018, they were known as the "pneumoniae group" of Mycoplasma.[2] Many species are sexually transmitted and cause pelvic inflammatory disease.[3]
