Novel mycoplasmas are described which are prominent in patients who are thought to be suffering from AIDS. Devices are also provided for the in vitro detection of mycoplasmas in biological fluid by means of a reagent which is specific for the mycoplasma group without being specific for particular species within said group. Devices for testing mycoplasma sensitivity to antibiotics are also described.
