2. Figure 1
Real-time PCR detection of macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae in clinical samples. Genomic DNA samples of two patients containing the A2063G mutation, verified by sequencing, are purified and tested together with a wild-type (WT) control (M. pneumoniae strain M129, ATCC number 29342). Melting curves (A and B) and corresponding melting peaks (C and D) are shown. A2063/A2064 mutations are analyzed in channel 610 (A and C). The WT melting peak is 67.31°C, whereas the melting temperature (Tm) of A2063G mutants is 63.25°C ± 0.04°C. Thus, a 4°C difference between WT and mutant is observed. The C2617 assay is shown in channel 705 (B and D). Because all samples do not have mutations at this position, they show similar WT Tm values of approximately 68°C, as predicted.
