Detection of Macrolide Resistance in<i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i>by Real-Time PCR and High-Resolution Melt Analysis
22 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a significant cause of community-acquired pneumonia, which is often empirically treated with macrolides or azalides such as erythromycin or azithromycin. Recent studies have discovered the existence of macrolide-resistant strains within the population that have been mapped to mutations within the domain V region of the 23S rRNA gene. Currently, identification of these resistant strains...
