title: Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of 201 Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolates from Beijing, China, from 2008 to 2011.
abstract: A total of 201 Mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical isolates from Beijing, China, isolated from 2008 to 2011, were clustered into 16 multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) types, of which 6 new MLVA types have never been reported previously. Type 1 isolates based on p1 gene genotyping were mainly MLVA types E, J, P, U, and X. There was no correlation between macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae and their MLVA type.
