Periodic Genotype Shifts in Clinically Prevalent Mycoplasma pneumoniae Strains in Japan

Periodic Genotype Shifts in Clinically Prevalent Mycoplasma pneumoniae Strains in Japan

Nationwide increases in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia cases in Japan were reported in 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016. In this study, we isolated 554 M. pneumoniae strains in 4 areas in Japan (Kanagawa, Okayama, Osaka, and Saitama) between 2006 and 2019, and performed genotyping analysis. More than 80%...
