Macrolide-Resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae, North Dakota 2024
Abstract
A cluster of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae -causing community-acquired pneumonia was observed in children in North Dakota in 2024. Suspicion was raised by non-response to macrolides, with confirmation via a polymerase-chain reaction assay. Prompt improvement occurred after the initiation of alternative antibiotics.
Keywords: Mycoplasma pneumoniae; macrolide resistance; prevalence; treatment.
