Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]
, 2019 Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,

Comparison of methods for detection of plasmid-mediated and chromosomally encoded colistin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
, 2017 Objectives: Because of the emergence of plasmid-mediated (mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes) and chromosomally encoded colistin resistance, reliable methods for detecting colistin resistance/susceptibility in routine laboratories are required.

MCR: modern colistin resistance [PDF]
, 2017 Recently, plasmid-mediated and, therefore, transferable bacterial polymyxin resistance was discovered in strains from both humans and animals. Such a trait may widely spread geographically, while simultaneously crossing microbial species barriers. This

The mgrB gene as a key target for acquired resistance to colistin in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
, 2014 Objectives Alterations in the PhoPQ two-component regulatory system may be associated with colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. MgrB is a small transmembrane protein produced upon activation of the PhoPQ signalling system, and acts as a negative

Application of luciferase assay for ATP to antimicrobial drug susceptibility [PDF]
, 1977 The susceptibility of bacteria, particularly those derived from body fluids, to antimicrobial agents is determined in terms of an ATP index measured by culturing a bacterium in a growth medium.
