The emergence of tigecycline-resistant bacteria in agri-food chains poses a public health concern. Recently, plasmid-mediated (X4) was found to be resistant to tigecycline. However, genome differences between (X4)-positive of human and pork origins are still under-investigated. In this study, 53 pork samples were collected from markets in Jiangsu, China, and 23 (X4)-positive isolates were identified and shown to confer resistance to multiple antibiotics, including tigecycline. (X4)-positive isolates were mainly distributed in (n = 22), followed by (n = 1). More than half of the (X4) genes were able to be successfully transferred into C600. We downloaded all (X4)-positive isolates from humans and pork found in China from the NCBI database. A total of 42 known STs were identified, of which ST10 was the dominant ST. The number of ARGs and plasmid replicons carried by of human origin were not significantly different from those carried by of pork origin. However, the numbers of insertion sequences and virulence genes carried by of human origin were significantly higher than those carried by of pork origin. In addition to , we analyzed all 23 (X4)-positive strains currently reported. We found that these (X4)-positive were mainly distributed in China and had no dominant STs. This study systematically investigated the (X4)-positive isolates, emphasizing the importance of the continuous surveillance of (X4) in pork.
食源性抗替加环素细菌的出现引发了公共卫生关注。最近发现质粒介导的 (X4) 对替加环素具有耐药性。然而,人源和猪源 (X4)-阳性 的基因组差异仍未得到充分研究。本研究从中国江苏市场采集了 53 份猪肉样本,鉴定出 23 株 (X4)-阳性分离株,这些分离株对多种抗生素包括替加环素具有耐药性。(X4)-阳性分离株主要分布于 (n = 22),其次是 (n = 1)。超过一半的 (X4) 基因能够成功转移到 C600 中。我们从 NCBI 数据库下载了中国发现的所有人源和猪源 (X4)-阳性 分离株。共鉴定出 42 个已知 ST,其中 ST10 是主要的 ST。人源 携带的 ARGs 和质粒复制子数量与人源 携带的无显著差异,但人源 携带的插入序列和毒力基因数量显著高于猪源 携带的。除 外,我们还分析了目前报道的所有 23 株 (X4)-阳性 菌株。我们发现这些 (X4)-阳性 主要分布在中国,没有优势 ST。本研究系统地调查了 (X4)-阳性分离株,强调了对猪肉中 (X4) 进行持续监测的重要性。
