We reported the complete nucleotide sequence of a (X4)-carrying plasmid, pSTB20-1T, from a tigecycline-resistant isolate in China. Sequence analysis indicated that pSTB20-1T contains a hybrid plasmid backbone and a (X4)-containing multidrug resistance region, likely originated through recombination of multiple plasmids. (X4) was flanked by two IS, which may be responsible for (X4) mobilization. The occurrence and transmission of this novel hybrid plasmid may exacerbate the spread of the clinically significant (X4) gene.
我们报道了一株来自中国的替加环素耐药株中携带(X4)的质粒 pSTB20-1T 的完整核苷酸序列。序列分析表明,pSTB20-1T 含有混合质粒骨架和一个含有多种耐药基因的(X4)区域,可能是通过多个质粒的重组而产生的。(X4)两侧是两个 IS,它们可能负责(X4)的移动。这种新型混合质粒的出现和传播可能会加剧临床上重要的(X4)基因的传播。
