Abstract
We developed a multiplex real-time PCR assay for simultaneously detecting M. pneumoniae and typing into historically-defined P1 types. Typing was achieved based on the presence of short type-specific indels identified through whole genome sequencing. This assay was 100% specific compared to existing methods and may be useful during epidemiologic investigations. Published by Elsevier Inc.Entities:
