Presence of Mobile Tigecycline Resistance Gene tet(X4) in Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae

ABSTRACT The recently emerged plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance gene tet(X4) has mainly been detected in Escherichia coli but never in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Herein, we identified a clinical K. pneumoniae isolate that harbored the tet(X4) gene located on a non-self-transferable IncFII-type pla...
