Evaluation of Plasmid Mediated Colistin Resistance in Colistin Resistant Gram-negative Bacilli
Journal of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, 2023 Background: Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria are treated with colonistin as a last resort. However, the increased resistance in recent years is significant for treating multiple drug-resistant infections. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the resistance genes mobile colistin resistance (mcr)-1 and mcr-2 in the ...

Deciphering MCR-2 Colistin Resistance [PDF]
mBio, 2017 ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance is a prevalent problem in public health worldwide. In general, the carbapenem β-lactam antibiotics are considered a final resort against lethal infections by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Colistin is a cationic polypeptide antibiotic and acts as the last line of defense for treatment of carbapenem ...
