I was trying to respond to a thread on mycoplasma and Lyme, and I thought I lost internet. It seems I only lost internet at flash.lymenet.org on those pages... not anywhere else on the internet!

Anyway, there is a book Cure Unknown, by Pamela Weintraub, that states that there are 3 types of mycoplasma found in Lyme patients, and mycoplasma fermantans is one of them.

Lyme is also being studied (among other diseases) at a new lab in Colorado. They denied it at Plum Island near NY and CT, but are admitting it there. Hmm...

There are a few US Patents on mycoplasma. You can click there and type in the number, or type in the "Assignee" as American Registry of Patholgy." I fiddled around with it a bit.

There is US Patent No. 5215914. "Mycoplasma can Enhance HIV Replication in Vitro: A possible Cofactor Responsible for the Progression of AIDS.

US Patent No. 5,242,820
Shyh-Ching Lo
Mycoplasma Fermantans-AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimers

Robert Gallo has one also, but all my pages got booted last night and I have to re-research it. I found another mycoplasma patent that wasn't fermantans but started with a "p" Ok, I had copied and pasted before I got booted. Here's what I typed:

It also states that an antigen-antibody response can be detected by ELISA, Western-blot and direct or indirect immunoflourescent assay and immuniradiometric assay as described in US Patent No. 4,520,113 (Inventor: Robert Gallo, Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the (Washington, DC) See also US Patent No. 5,215,914, Adherent and invasive mycoplasma. [The present invention relates to a novel strain of mycoplasma isolated from a patient with AIDS. The mycoplasma does not appear to be related to any other species of human or animal mycoplasma. This novel mycoplasma is referred to hereinafter as M. penetrans.] See also Robert Gallo's book, Virus Hunting.

And then US PAtent No. 7329410
