Abstract
The plasmid-mediated high-level tigecycline resistance gene, tet(X4), was detected in seven Escherichia coli isolates from pork in two Chinese provinces. Two isolates belonged to the epidemic spreading sequence type ST101. Tet(X4) was adjacent to ISVsa3 and concurrent with floR in all seven isolates. In addition to IncFIB, the replicon IncFII was found to be linked to tet(X4). This report follows a recent detection of tet(X3)/(X4) in E. coli from animals and humans in China.
