Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in 23S rRNA gene are known to be associated with macrolide resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). However, these mutations alone do not fully explain the high resistance rates in Asia. The aim of this study was to investigate other possible mutations involved in macrolide resistance in M. pneumoniae. METHODS: The whole genomes of 10 clinical isolates of M. pneumoniae with...
