Abstract:
Macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) requires rapid diagnosis. The Kogene Mp-DR real-time PCR assay showed 100 % sensitivity and specificity for detecting A2063G mutations in the 23S rRNA gene. Although no samples were A2064G-positive, all wild-type cases were accurately classified, highlighting the rapid diagnostic capability of this method for MRMP detection.
