High tigecycline resistance in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii is increasing in our hospital and worldwide, raising the necessity of finding effective therapies. We aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of tigecycline against MDR A. baumannii clones isolated before tigecycline was used in our institution.Eighty-two unique patient clinical isolates of multidrug ...

Multiple Mechanisms of Tigecycline Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae from a Pig Farm, China
We isolated eight tigecycline-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains from a pig farm in Shanghai, China, including Escherichia coli (n = 1), Proteus cibarius (n = 1), and Enterobacter hormaechei (n = 6). Two of them (E. coli and P.

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
