FIG 3.

MLVA typing of M. pneumoniae specimens and/or isolates, 2006 to 2013. Results for four loci (Mpn13 to Mpn16) are reported. (A) Proportion of each MLVA type identified among specimens/isolates (n = 170). MLVA type could not be determined for 29 (15%) of 199 specimens due to the lack of an available specimen/isolate or inadequate amplification of all four loci. Other types detected include 3572 (n = 1), 4472 (n = 1), and 4672 (n = 3). (B) Proportions of MLVA types during each year of the study period. The number of M. pneumoniae-positive specimens with available MLVA results is shown for each year; no positive specimens were available from 2008 or 2010.
