Emergence of a plasmid-borne tigecycline resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Vietnam
1 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Tigecycline is a last-resort antimicrobial used to treat multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. One of the common antimicrobial resistance mechanisms is the efflux pump system composed of membrane protein complexes to excrete xenobiotic substrates. Recently, a novel gene cluster, tmexCD1-toprJ1, encoding the resistance–nodulation–cell division (RND) efflux pump was identified on plasmids in...
