BACKGROUND: The emergence of plasmid-mediated tet(X3)/tet(X4) genes is threatening the role of tigecycline as a last-resort antibiotic to treat clinical infections caused by XDR bacteria. Considering the possible public health threat posed by tet(X) and its variants [which we collectively call 'tet(X) genes' in this study], global monitoring and surveillance are urgently required. OBJECTIVES: Here we conducted a...
