Phenotypic and genomic analysis reveals Riemerella anatipestifer as the potential reservoir of tet(X) variants
21 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tigecycline is regarded as one of the last-resort antimicrobials clinically. Emergence of plasmid-mediated tet(X) undermines such an important drug. However, the origins of tet(X) remain largely unexplored. METHODS: Riemerella anatipestifer strains were characterized by PCR, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, WGS and bioinformatics analysis. Functional analysis of tet(X) was verified by cloning...
