Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M.pneumoniae) is one of the predominant pathogenic bacteria causing community acquired pneumonia. An epidemic of M. pneumoniae infection occurs every three to seven years worldwide. It can cause a variety of clinical symptoms. Since 2000, macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae strains have become increasingly common in many countries around the world and the drug resistance rate has reached as high as 100% in some area, which has posed a great threat to human health. This paper will review the status and mechanism of drug resistance in M. pneumoniae. Key words: Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Global drug resistance; Drug resistance mechanism
