Then it will be possible to draw conclusions,” says Doctor of Biological Sciences Ancha Baranova. — The type of bacteria is not named because it is “new.” It is unculturable, intracellular. By the way, one hundred and five hundred species of these same mycoplasmas have already been discovered, and it is not surprising that another one has been found.
