Genomic epidemiological analysis reveals new insights into the resurgence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in China
The 2023 outbreak of <i>M. pneumoniae</i> was not attributable to a novel variant but stemmed from the resurgence of the pre-existing strains. Our genomic epidemiological findings demonstrated that the endemic strains in different regions exhibit distinct genomic characteristics, associated with genomic stability.
