Introduction: Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) has been a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), accounting for about 10-30% of the cases. Previously, a local study revealed that more than 60% of clinical isolates of M. pneumoniae exerted A2063G mutation, which confers a high leve...
