Marshall,

If I am not mistaken,  viruses contain no DNA,  only RNA.   They take over a
cell's DNA to to their dirty work.    Mycoplasms have a very crude DNA,  and are
the smallest microorganisms/bacteria.   They are parasites and very hard to
treat.     They are "alive" but can not live independently.
