Characterization of newly isolated lytic bacteriophages active against Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
Based on genotyping and host range, two newly isolated lytic bacteriophages, myovirus vB_AbaM_Acibel004 and podovirus vB_AbaP_Acibel007, active against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains, were selected from a new phage library for further ...

This study isolated a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (KAM950) carrying the tmexCD‐toprJ gene cluster from hospital sewage in Japan. The strain exhibited reduced susceptibility to tigecycline and carbapenems, harboured chromosomal tmexC6D6‐toprJ1b and oprD disruption, and belonged to epidemic clone ST244, emphasising emerging multidrug resistance and the

Tigecycline resistance tet(X3) gene is going wild
The emergence of mobile Tigecycline-resistant tet(X3) and tet(X4) is believed to be a global threat to public health. Here, we investigated the prevalence of tet(X3) and tet(X4) in our metagenomic data of migratory birds. While tet(X4) was not identified in our samples, tet(X3) was found in two gut microbiomes of bird fecal samples, with 100% amino ...
