Co‐production of Tet(X) and MCR ‐1, two resistance enzymes by a single plasmid
9 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Tigecycline and colistin are few of 'last-resort' antibiotic defences used in anti-infection therapies against carbapenem-resistant bacterial pathogens. The successive emergence of plasmid-borne tet(X) tigecycline resistance mechanism and mobile colistin resistance (mcr) determinant, renders them clinically useless. Here, we report that co-carriage of tet(X6) and mcr-1 gives co-resistance to both classes of...
