Prevalence of mcr-type genes among colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae collected in 2014-2016 as part of the INFORM global surveillance program. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 A set of 908 clinically derived colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaeae isolates collected worldwide in 2014-2016 were screened for the presence of the plasmid-borne mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4 and mcr-5 genes.

Genetic basis of chromosomally-encoded mcr-1 gene [PDF]
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2018 Compared with plasmid-borne mcr-1, the occurrence of chromosomally-encoded mcr-1 is rare although it has been reported in several cases. This study aimed to investigate the genetic features of chromosomally-encoded mcr-1 among Escherichia coli strains as well as the potential genetic basis governing mobilisation of mcr-1 in bacterial chromosomes.
