Widespread Dissemination of Plasmid-Mediated Tigecycline Resistance Gene tet(X4) in Enterobacterales of Porcine Origin

Widespread Dissemination of Plasmid-Mediated Tigecycline Resistance Gene tet(X4) in Enterobacterales of Porcine Origin

ABSTRACT The emergence of the plasmid-mediated high levels of the tigecycline resistance gene has drawn worldwide attention and has posed a major threat to public health. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of the tet(X4)-positive Enterobacterales isolates collected from a pig slaughterhou...
