Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance gene tmexCD-toprJ has emerged in clinical and animal isolates, but its epidemiological spread and plasmid adaptation mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: We characterized tmexCD-toprJ-carrying plasmids from the PLSDB database through comprehensive bioinformatic analyses, revealing their genetic features and potential inter-species transmission routes....
