Novel Variant and Known Mutation in 23S rRNA Gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Northern Vietnam, 2023

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Apr 4;30(5). doi: 10.3201/eid3005.231632. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring a 2023 outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated community-acquired pneumonia among children in northern Vietnam, we analyzed M. pneumoniae isolated from nasopharyngeal samples. In almost half (6 of 13) of samples tested, we found known A2063G mutations (macrolide resistance) and a novel C2353T variant on the 23S rRNA gene.PMID:38573165 | DOI:10.3201/eid3005.231632
