Abstract
The dissemination mechanism of the high-level tigecycline resistance gene tet(X4) in porcine Escherichia coli was investigated. tet(X4) and other antimicrobial resistance genes were located on the plasmids p1919D3-1 and p1919D62-1 and flanked by two or three copies of IS1 family elements, which can form one to three translocatable units (TUs). Using a reduced transposition model, IS1A was experimentally demonstrated to mediate the transposition of tet(X4) from a suicide plasmid into the E. coli chromosome.Entities:
