title: Surveillance of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Beijing, China, from 2008 to 2012.
abstract: Macrolide resistance rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in the Beijing population were as high as 68.9%, 90.0%, 98.4%, 95.4%, and 97.0% in the years 2008 to 2012, respectively. Common macrolide-resistant mobile genetic elements were not detected with any isolate. These macrolide-resistant isolates came from multiple clones rather than the same clone. No massive aggregation of a particular clone was found in a specific period.
