<i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i> Macrolide Resistance and MLVA Typing in Children in Beijing, China, in 2016: Is It Relevant?

Abstract

In 2016, a specific decrease in the macrolide resistance rate occurred in Beijing. The detection rate and macrolide resistance rate of outpatients are lower than those of inpatients. The A2063G mutants <i>M. pneumoniae</i> have high levels of resistance to erythromycin and azithromycin. The primary MLVA type is 4-5-7-2, followed by 3-5-6-2. No other MLVA types were detected. No strains resistant to tetracycline or levofloxacin were found <i>in vitro</i>.
