The study analyzes the clinical characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in hospitalized Chinese children, aiming to improve patient management.
A total of 120 children were studied, with infection confirmation through various methods and antibiotic resistance assessed via minimum inhibitory concentrations and genetic sequencing.
Results showed the antibiotic-resistant group had longer fever durations and respiratory symptoms compared to the non-resistant group, with a significant mutation found in almost 90% of resistant strains.
