Harnessing efficient multiplex PCR methods to detect the expanding Tet(X) family of tigecycline resistance genes
A growing number of tet(X)-type tigecycline resistance determinants [tet(X1) to tet(X5)] constitutes an expanding family of tetracycline-inactivating enzymes, posing a potential risk to global public health. Here, we report the development of an efficient multiplex PCR method to detect the family of...
