Evolutionary Trajectory of the Tet(X) Family: Critical Residue Changes towards High-Level Tigecycline Resistance
17 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
The newly emerged tigecycline-inactivating enzymes Tet(X3) and Tet(X4), which are associated with high-level tigecycline resistance, demonstrated significantly higher activities in comparison to that of the prototypical Tet(X) enzyme, threatening the clinical efficacy of tigecycline as a last-resort antibiotic to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, the molecular mechanisms...
