This summary outlines laboratory reports of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, a bacterium that causes acute respiratory illness. The data is sourced from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) voluntary surveillance database, UKHSA reference laboratory, and NHS hospitals in England.

The reports focus on cases of respiratory Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in England and Wales. Each document may include reports that were submitted late and were therefore excluded from previous publications. To provide context, data from previous years is also included for comparison.
