Abstract excerpt
To clarify the epidemiologic features of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we examined 358 M. pneumoniae strains isolated between 2004 and 2013 in Yamagata, Japan. Analysis of macrolide-resistance-associated 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) domain V mutations revealed 6 kinds of mutants (81 A2063G, 43 A2063T, 1 A2063C, 1 A2064C, 4 C2617G and 1 C2617 mutation). There were only two mutants before 2009, but mutants A2063T and A2063G...
