To develop an effective enrichment method for tet(X) detection, we performed PCR and Sanger sequencing to screen and confirm the presence of tet(X) gene.
Species were identified by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of common antibiotics were determined by broth microdilution and interpreted according to the CLSI guidelines and EUCAST breakpoints.
We obtained 29 (2.26%, 29/1284) tet(X4)-positive Escherichia coli, and 96.6% of those (28 isolates) exhibited resistance to tigecycline.
This specific screening strategy for functional tet(X) mediating tigecycline resistance will be useful to facilitate development and advancement of our knowledge of tet(X).
为了开发一种有效的 tet(X)检测富集方法，我们进行了 PCR 和 Sanger 测序来筛选和确认 tet(X)基因的存在。
通过 MALDI-TOF MS 分析鉴定菌种。采用肉汤微量稀释法测定常见抗生素的最小抑菌浓度（MIC），并根据 CLSI 指南和 EUCAST 折点进行解释。
我们获得了 29 株 tet(X4)阳性大肠杆菌（2.26%，29/1284），其中 96.6%（28 株）对替加环素耐药。
这种针对功能性 tet(X)介导替加环素耐药的特定筛选策略，将有助于促进我们对 tet(X)的认识的发展和进步。
