New Research Progress in Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection
As an important pathogen of respiratory tract infection, Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) may not only lead to primary atypical pneumonia but also cause systemic organ conditions. MP causes respiratory tract infection among school-age children and is also an important infectious agent for adult respirator...
