Tet(X4)-producing Escherichia coli isolates in Taiwan

open access: yesJournal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: Plasmid-mediaed tet(X4), linked to high-level tigecycline resistance, was first identified in China with Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a major reservoir. No confirmed cases had been reported in Taiwan.

Emergence of plasmid-borne tet(X4) resistance gene in clinical isolate of eravacycline- and omadacycline-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST485

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Omadacycline and eravacycline are gradually being used as new tetracycline antibiotics for the clinical treatment of Gram-negative pathogens. Affected by various tetracycline-inactivating enzymes, there have been reports of resistance to eravacycline and
