| Title: | Phase-shifting of the transmissibility of macrolide-sensitive and resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae epidemics in Hong Kong, from 2015 to 2018 | Authors: | Zhao, S Musa, SS Qin, J He, DH |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | International journal of infectious diseases, Apr. 2019, v. 81, p. 251-253 | Abstract: | Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a threat to public health. This pathogen caused an epidemic in Hong Kong during the years 2015-2018. The reproduction number during the initial epidemic was estimated to be 1.7 for macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae (MRMP) and 1.4 for macrolide-sensitive M. pneumoniae (MSMP). During 2016-2018, the reproduction number remained stable at around 1.0 for both MRMP and MSMP. Phase-shifting and changes in the leading-status between the transmissibilities of MSMP and MRMP were found. | Keywords: | Mycoplasma pneumoniae Antibiotic resistance Reproduction number Statistical analysis Wavelet analysis |
