Phylogenetic tree and location of mutations for Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains identified in pediatric patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia, Hanoi, Vietnam, spring/summer 2023. A) Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis of the domain V region of the 23S rRNA gene. B) Predicted RNA secondary structure of 23S rRNA gene constructed with the description of known mutations (A2063G/C/T, A2064G, A2067G, C2617G) and novel variant (C2353T). Yellow highlights indicate the domain V region of 23S rRNA. Scale bar indicates base substitutions per site.
