Allele-specific real-time PCR testing for minor macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
12 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The point mutations in 23S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) can lead to high-level resistance to macrolides. This study aimed to evaluate allele-specific real-time PCR (ASPCR) to detect the resistance-related mutations located at positions A2063G and A2064G of 23S rRNA gene. METHODS: We detected 178 pharyngeal swab specimens and calculated the proportions of resistant and sensitive...
