We characterized 515 Mycoplasma pneumoniae specimens in Hokkaido. In 2013 and 2014, the p1 gene type 1 strain, mostly macrolide-resistant, was dominant prevalence of macrolide resistance over 50 %. After 2017, 2 lineage, macrolide-sensitive, increased became 31.0 % 5.3 2018 16.3 2019.

We examined the association between haplotype tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in TLR4 and the pertussis toxin-specific immunoglobulin G response after whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccination in 515 1-year-old children from the KOALA study. A lower titer was associated with the minor allele of rs2770150, supporting a role for Toll-like receptor 4 in the antibody response to wP vaccination.

This paper considers several practical heuristics for the design of good, if not optimal, partial-match data bases in situations which are typical of real life information retrieval systems.
