摘要： Tigecycline plays an important role in the clinical treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. The emergence of plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance genes tet(X) and tmexCD1-tmexJ1 has been reported in a variety of animal and animal-derived foods, and have the potential spread to humans, seriously limiting the choice of clinical medication. Herein, three ST92 Klebsiella michiganensis isolates co-harboring tet(X4) and tmexCD2-toprJ2 were collected from pork samples in Jiangsu Province, China. These K. michiganensis isolates were all multidrug-resistant isolates. Genome analysis showed that tmexCD2-toprJ2 and tet(X4) were located on IncFIB(K) and IncX1 plasmids, respectively. The IncFIB(K) plasmid pMX581-77k is a novel tmexCD2-toprJ2bearing plasmid. Worryingly, there were only a small number of SNPs between K. michiganensis isolated from pork in this study and K. michiganensis from human sources, with the possibility of clonal transmission. In addition, tet(X4) and tmexCD2-toprJ2 in K. michiganensis were able to stabilize in the absence of antibiotics. The growth curve indicated that the tmexCD2-toprJ2-positive plasmid imposed a burden on the growth of host bacteria. Interestingly, we found that the high-level resistance phenotype to tigecycline in these K. michiganensis isolates was mainly mediated by tet(X4). However, both tet(X4) and tmexCD2-toprJ2 expression were significantly elevated when host bacteria were exposed to tigecycline. This study systematically investigated K. michiganensis co-carrying tet(X4) and tmexCD2-toprJ2, emphasizing the importance for continuous surveillance of tigecyclineresistant K. michiganensis in animal-derived foods.
