Antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolates from children in Xi'an regions of China
MP strains in Xi'an show high rates of genotypic macrolide resistance and a predominance of the P1-I genotype. The notable discordance between the universal presence of resistance mutations and observed phenotypic resistance underscores the importance of integrating both molecular and culture-based susceptibility testing to guide effective clinical management.
