Molecular Epidemiology of mcr-Encoded Colistin Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae From Food-Producing Animals in Italy Revealed Through the EU Harmonized Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Colistin resistance by mobilisable mcr genes has been described in bacteria of food-animal origin worldwide, which has raised public health concerns about its potential foodborne transmission to human pathogenic bacteria.

IncX4 Plasmid-Mediated mcr-1.1 in Polymyxin-Resistant Escherichia coli from Outpatients in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Drug Resistance, 2020
Plasmid-mediated polymyxin resistance has become a global health concern, not only because its dissemination has occurred drastically but also because it has begun to be reported in multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. We hereby report microbiological and genomic characteristics of two mcr-1.1-positive polymyxin-resistant Escherichia coli isolates ...

Comparative genomic analysis of Colistin resistant Escherichia coli isolated from pigs, a human and wastewater on colistin withdrawn pig farm

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In this study, genomic and plasmid characteristics of Escherichia coli were determined with the aim of deducing how mcr genes may have spread on a colistin withdrawn pig farm. Whole genome hybrid sequencing was applied to six mcr-positive E. coli (MCRPE)

Dissemination of carbapenemase‐producing Enterobacteriaceae and associated resistance determinants through global food systems

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 2706-2727, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Antimicrobial agents are a critical component of modern healthcare systems, fulfilling a core function in patient care and improving individual patient outcomes and consequently overall public health. However, the efficacy of antimicrobial interventions is being consistently eroded by the emergence and dissemination of various antimicrobial ...

First Report of the Globally Disseminated IncX4 Plasmid Carrying the mcr-1 Gene in a Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli Sequence Type 101 Isolate from a Human Infection in Brazil. [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrob Agents Chemother, 2016
ABSTRACT A colistin-resistant Escherichia coli strain was recovered from a patient with a diabetic foot infection in Brazil. Whole-genome analysis revealed that the E. coli isolate belonged to the widespread sequence type (ST) 101 and harbored the mcr-1 gene ...

Salmonella Heidelberg and Salmonella Minnesota in Brazilian broilers: Genomic characterization of third‐generation cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone‐resistant strains

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 119-128, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Salmonella serovars Heidelberg and Minnesota encoding antimicrobial resistance to third‐generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are often detected in poultry/poultry meat. We analysed the genomes of 10 Salmonella Heidelberg (SH) and 4 Salmonella Minnesota (SM) from faecal isolates of Brazilian poultry.

The Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-1 and Different Transferability and Fitness of mcr-1 -Bearing IncX4 Plasmids in Escherichia coli from Pigeons

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 incurs great concerns. Since the close proximity of pigeons with humans, it is significant to understand the prevalence and molecular characterization of mcr-1 -positive isolates in pigeons, to provide a rationale for ...

Transmission of Similar Mcr-1 Carrying Plasmids among Different Escherichia coli Lineages Isolated from Livestock and the Farmer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Colistin use has mostly been stopped in human medicine, due to its toxicity. However, nowadays, it still is used as a last-resort antibiotic to treat hospital infections caused by multi-drug resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
