The emergence of tet (X) genes has compromised the clinical use of the last-line antibiotic tigecycline. We identified 322 (1.21%) tet (X) positive samples from 12,829 human microbiome samples distributed in four continents (Asia, Europe, North America and South America) using retrospective data from worldwide.
