The treatment of mycoplasma infections usually involves antibiotics. Because mycoplasma lacks a cell wall, antibiotics such as beta-lactams (penicillin and its derivatives) are ineffective. Instead, macrolides (e.g., azithromycin), tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline), and fluoroquinolones (e.g., levofloxacin) are often used. It is crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent recurrence and resistance.
