Molecular Detection and Characterization of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Among Patients Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia in the United States

We report molecular characteristics of M. pneumoniae in respiratory specimens from children and adults hospitalized with CAP. The P1 type 1 genotype and MLVA type 4/5/7/2 predominated, but proportions of types differed between children and adults. Macrolide resistance was rare.
