Detection of Macrolide Resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Children with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection by Sanger Sequencing Targeting Domain V Region of 23S rRNA Gene

Detection of Macrolide Resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Children with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection by Sanger Sequencing Targeting Domain V Region of 23S rRNA Gene

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is recognized as the leading cause of community-acquired lower respiratory tract infection in children, accounting for a significant proportion of pediatric mortality. Macrolides are the first-line treatment for M. pneumoniae infections. However, the extensive use of macrolides...
