[Mycoplasma infections as a possible factor in genetic changes in the cells of higher eukaryotes].
Mycoplasmas (class Mollicutes, kingdom Procaryotae) are able to induce large-scale chromosome rearrangements in the infected cells. Repeated DNA sequences including mobile elements (as IS and Tn) turn out to play a considerable part in mutation events of mycoplasmas and host cells.
