Sequence Type Changes Associated with Decreasing Macrolide-Resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Japan

We compared sequence types (STs) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolates from Japan during 2002-2019. ST3 and ST14 dominated during 2002-2016, and ST7 and ST33 dominated during 2018-2019. These STs were associated with a decrease in macrolide-resistant strains after an epidemic of infection with M. pneumo...
