Objectives: Acinetobacter indicus is an important pathogen of nosocomial infection. The purpose of this study was to analyze the resistance and transmission of A. indicus strain AIBD14 isolated from slaughterhouse environment.
Methods: A total of 96 environmental samples were collected from slaughterhouse. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by microbroth dilution method and E-test. Whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of the AIBD14 were performed, then S1-PFGE and southern blot verified the location of bla and tet(X6).
Results: The AIBD14 is resistant to meropenem but susceptibility to tigecycline, and coharboring bla and tet(X6). The bla is located on the pAIBD14-NDM-1 that cannot be transferred by conjugation. Specifically, bla is located on the transposon Tn125, and bla can be transferred to other species with the help of transposon. The genetic background of bla is "ISAba125-bla-ble-dsbD-cutA-groES-groEL-insE-ISAba125". pAIBD14-NDM-1 is classified into the GR31 plasmid based on the homology of the repB. Meanwhile, there are two XerC/D-like binding sites on the plasmid, which can mediate the transfer of resistance genes. The tet(X6) gene is located on the chromosome of AIBD14, its downstream is accompanied by the neglected macrolide resistance gene estT, and there is a single copy of the insertion element ISCR2 around tet(X6) as the genetic background "ISAba4-IS3-hp-hp-tet(X6)-estT-guaA-ISCR2".
Conclusions: This is the first report of the coexistence of tet(X6) and bla in the A. indicus, and it has the risk of horizontal transfer across multiple species. So strict monitoring the multiple-resistant bacteria in the industrial chain is necessary based on the "One Heath".

To characterize the genomic features of a community-acquired Acinetobacter baumannii strain, co-carrying tet(X6) and bla genes, but was susceptible to tigecycline and carbapenems. The tet(X6) and bla genes were found on a 149,518 bp non-conjugative plasmid. The bla gene was silent, due to the presence of an intact ISAba3-like element upstream, which rendered the strain susceptible to carbapenems.

Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are rapidly emerging, with a new concern being the discovery of novel resistance genes, particularly tet(X) which targets tigecycline, a key treatment for multidrug-resistant infections.
- A study characterized two strains of Acinetobacter indicus resistant to tigecycline, identifying three tet(X) variants, including a new variant called Tet(X5.4) that significantly increased resistance levels in Escherichia coli.
- The ongoing rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria and their resistance genes is a pressing global health concern that requires immediate attention.

The widespread emergence of transferable extensively drug-resistant (XDR) genes, including and for carbapenem resistance, for colistin resistance, and (X4) and (X6) for tigecycline resistance, in poses a major threat to public health. Thus, rapid on-site detection of these XDR genes is urgently needed. We developed a cascade system with a unitary polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200-enhanced recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) as the core, combined with a modified Chelex-100 lysis method and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) biosensor, to accurately detect these genes in .
