Dissemination and prevalence of plasmid-mediated high-level tigecycline resistance gene tet (X4)
With the large-scale use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) continue to rise, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are regarded as emerging environmental pollutants. The new tetracycline-class antibiotic, tigecycline is the last resort

Role of capsule in the pathogenesis of Fowl Cholera caused by Pasteurella multocida Serogroup A [PDF]
We have constructed a defined acapsular mutant inPasteurella multocida X-73 (serogroup A:1) by disrupting the hexA gene through the insertion of a tetracycline resistance cassette.

Using cellular fitness to map the structure and function of a major facilitator superfamily effluxer. [PDF]
The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) effluxers are prominent mediators of antimicrobial resistance. The biochemical characterization of MFS proteins is hindered by their complex membrane environment that makes in vitro biochemical analysis challenging.

Emergence of tigecycline-resistant <i>Raoultella ornithinolytica</i> with <i>tet</i>(X)-carrying plasmid from swine wastewater in China. [PDF]
BackgroundThe increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), such as the plasmid-mediated tigecycline-modifying enzyme tet(X), significantly hinders the treatment of infectious diseases in humans and animals. Livestock wastewater contributes to the transmission of these ARGs.MethodsBetween June 2023 and December 2024, 140 wastewater ...
