Seasonal Variation and Macrolide Resistance in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infections: A Cohort Study in a Large Pediatric Population
This research focused on analyzing the epidemiological traits, age-related nonlinear associations, seasonal variation patterns, and trends in the evolution of resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infections across a large population, providing scientific evidence for clinical management and public health interventions. Using retrospective data from 175,350 subjects, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect MP nucleic acids, and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) was employed to analyze resistance gene profiles.
