Persistence of plasmid and tet(X4) in an Escherichia coli isolate coharboring blaNDM-5 and mcr-1 after acquiring an IncFII tet(X4)-positive plasmid
The prevalence of plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance gene tet(X4) is presenting an increasing trend. Once tet(X4)-bearing plasmids are captured by multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as blaNDM and mcr-coharboring bacteria, it will promote bacteria to develop an ultra-broad resistance spectrum, l...
