Abstract
A PCR approach for multi-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae directly from respiratory samples was developed and evaluated on 54 specimens from M. pneumoniae-positive pneumonia patients. The method resulted in a clearly identifiable MLVA type in all samples tested and can be used for MLVA without laborious isolation of the pathogen.Entities:
