There was a high percentage of macrolide resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical isolates in China. The genetic relatedness of macrolide-resistant M. pneunomiae strains was investigated using the multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat assay (MLVA). Among 152 M. pneunomiae isolates, the 137 macrolide-resistant strains were clustered into 15 MLVA types, indicating that the high macrolide resistance rate in M. pneumoniae is a result of the dissemination of the multiple resistant clones.
中国肺炎支原体临床分离株中存在高比例的大环内酯类耐药。采用多位点可变数目串联重复序列分析(MLVA)对大环内酯类耐药肺炎支原体菌株的遗传相关性进行了研究。在 152 株肺炎支原体分离株中,137 株大环内酯类耐药株聚类为 15 种 MLVA 型,表明肺炎支原体大环内酯类耐药率高是多种耐药克隆传播的结果。
