26 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expansion of the single sequence type 3 (ST3) was associated with a high macrolide resistance rate among Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Korea during the 2014-2016 epidemic. This study investigates the macrolide resistance rate and genetic diversity of the subsequent epidemic of M. pneumoniae pneumonia in 2019-2020. METHODS: The culture for M. pneumoniae was developed from 1228 respiratory samples collected...
