ABSTRACT
Macrolide resistance rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Beijing population were as high as 68.9%, 90.0%, 98.4%, 95.4% and 97.0% from 2008 to 2012, respectively. Common macrolide resistant mobile genetic elements were not detected with any isolate. These macrolide resistant isolates came from multiple clones rather than the same clone. No massive aggregation of a particular clone was found in specific period.
