Genetic Characterization of the Tetracycline-Resistance Gene <i>tet</i>(X) Carried by Two <i>Epilithonimonas</i> Strains Isolated from Farmed Diseased Rainbow Trout, <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i> in Chile

Genetic Characterization of the Tetracycline-Resistance Gene <i>tet</i>(X) Carried by Two <i>Epilithonimonas</i> Strains Isolated from Farmed Diseased Rainbow Trout, <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i> in Chile

The main objective of this study was to characterize the <i>tet</i>(X) genes, which encode a monooxygenase that catalyzes the degradation of tetracycline antibiotics, carried by the resistant strains FP105 and FP233-J200, using whole-genome sequencing analysis. The isolates were recovere...
