We compared the antimicrobial susceptibility of Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolates from pediatric patients in Japan in 2011-2012 and 2015-2016, when epidemics occurred. The antimicrobial activity of macrolides and tetracyclines against M. pneumoniae infection tended to be restored in 2015-2016. There was no change in the antimicrobial activity of quinolones against M. pneumoniae infection.
