Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) of macrolide-susceptible and -resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children in Taiwan

Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) of macrolide-susceptible and -resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children in Taiwan

Background/purpose: To date, molecular typing studies on Mycoplasma pneumoniae are limited. We evaluated the molecular types of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in pediatric patients in Taiwan in 2016. Methods: We used real-time quantitative PCR on respiratory specimens to identify M. pneumoniae in children wi...
