The Mycoplasma pneumonia is gliding on the surface of host by using motile machinery existing at one polar of bacterial cell. This special motility is related to pathogenicity of Mycoplasma. By using real time phase contrast microcopy, the Mycoplasma species with the highest speed in Mycoplasma family, show about 4μm/s in this video.
