摘要: Tetracycline and its derivative tigecycline are clinical options against Gram-negative bacterial infections. The emergence of mobile Tet(X) enzymes that destruct tetracycline-type antibiotics is posing a big challenge to antibacterial therapy and food/environmental securities. Here, we present an update on a growing number of Tet(X) variants. We describe structure and action of Tet(X) enzyme, and discuss the evolutional origin. In addition, potential Tet(X) inhibitors are given. This mini-review might benefit better understanding of Tet(X)-mediated tigecycline resistance.
