Earliest observation of the tetracycline destructase tet(X3)
ABSTRACTTigecycline is an antibiotic of last resort for infections with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Plasmids harboring variants of the tetracycline destructase gene tetX promote rising tigecycline resistance rates. We report the earliest observation of tet(X3) in a clinical strain...
