Following Dr Garth Nicolson's research into mycoplasma (M. fermentans, M. hominis, M. pneumoniae or M. genitalium) cfs, microencapsulated NADH (35 mg/d), l-carnitine (160 mg/d), membrane phospholipids (2000 mg/d), CoQ10 (35 mg/d), α-ketoglutaric acid (180 mg/d), and other nutrients into an oral supplement (ATP Fuel)

If you have a Mycoplasma infection, macrolide and tetracycline classes of antibiotics (such as azithromycin and doxycycline) are effective treatments. For healthy people, two or three weeks treatment is required; longer treatment is usually needed in chronic illness like ME/CFS.1
Dr A Martin Lerner treats Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in his ME/CFS patients with intravenous doxycycline 150 mg for six weeks, followed by oral doxycycline 100 to 150 mg twice daily or moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily for three months.1
17 Mycoplasma Roles in Disease + Treatment, Prevention - SelfHacked
Mycoplasmainfection is treated with certain types of antibiotics.
All species of Mycoplasma lack a cell wall and, therefore, they are not susceptible to penicillins and other antibiotics that act on this structure [166].
Most antibiotics used in the treatment decrease Mycoplasmagrowth but do not kill the bacteria (bacteriostatic). This is one of the reasons why eradicating Mycoplasmais often slow and depends on the efficacy of the host immune system.
Macrolides, such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin are the treatment of choice for M. pneumoniaeinfections in both adults and children [4,28,167].
Resistance to macrolides has been emerging and increasing in M. pneumoniaesince 2000, especially in Asia [168,169].
Several Japanese studies have reported that 20 – 40% of strains are resistant to macrolides [153,168].
Tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin) and ketolides have also been effective in treating Mycoplasmainfection [4,170,167].
In the past, tetracyclines have been effective against bothM. hominis and U. urealyticum, but resistance has developed. Clindamycin is an alternative to the tetracyclines [171].
Antibiotic therapy typically lasts 10-14 days. If your doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics, it is extremely important to finish the whole prescription, even if your symptoms disappear after the first few days.Failure to complete treatment may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance in the pathogen
