Emergence of mcr-1 and mcr-3 variants coding for plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from food- producing animals in South Korea

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
We hereby report the first characterization of mcr-3 gene from healthy animals in South Korea. Out of 636 E. coli isolates, collected between 2014- 2017, nine colistin resistant isolates were screened for the presence of mcr-1 and mcr-3 genes. Nine (1.4%)

Features of the mcr-1 Cassette Related to Colistin Resistance [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016
The recent description of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1 , in strains isolated from food animals, food and humans in China was a signal for an avalanche of retrospective and prospective studies investigating the occurrence of this specific gene (1).…

Structure of the catalytic domain of the colistin resistance enzyme MCR-1 [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2016
Due to the paucity of novel antibiotics, colistin has become a last resort antibiotic for treating multidrug resistant bacteria. Colistin acts by binding the lipid A component of lipopolysaccharides and subsequently disrupting the bacterial membrane.

Heterogeneous and Flexible Transmission of mcr-1 in Hospital-Associated Escherichia coli

mBio, 2018
The recent emergence of a transferable colistin resistance mechanism, MCR-1, has gained global attention because of its threat to clinical treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Clinical relevance and plasmid dynamics of mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli in China: a multicentre case-control and molecular epidemiological study

The Lancet Microbe, 2020
Summary: Background: Although the emergence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, caused global concern, little is known about its clinical implications and transmission characteristics over time.

Global Dissemination of the mcr-1 gene

Archives of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2016
: Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most severe threats to human health. The first report of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in Escherichia coli from animals, food, and humans was in 2015 from China. The current increasing trend of resistance is extremely troubling because polymyxins are the last-resort antibiotics for treating infections with

Epidemiologic and genomic insights on mcr-1-harbouring Salmonella from diarrhoeal outpatients in Shanghai, China, 2006–2016Research in context

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Colistin resistance mediated by mcr-1-harbouring plasmids is an emerging threat in Enterobacteriaceae, like Salmonella. Based on its major contribution to the diarrhoea burden, the epidemic state and threat of mcr-1-harbouring Salmonella in ...

Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of colistin-resistance gene (mcr-1) positive Enterobacteriaceae in stool specimens of patients attending a tertiary care hospital in Singapore

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the colistin-resistance gene (mcr-1) and the antibiotic-susceptibility profile of mcr-1 positive, colistin-resistant isolates in stool specimens of patients attending a tertiary care ...

Identification of mcr-1-positive multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from clinical samples in Shanghai, China

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022
: Objectives: Since the gene encoding mobilised colistin resistance (mcr-1) was first reported in China in 2015, it has been reported in various Enterobacteriaceae worldwide.

Fitness cost of a mcr-1-carrying IncHI2 plasmid

PLOS ONE, 2018
IncHI2 is a common type of large mcr-1-carrying plasmids that have been found worldwide. Large plasmids could impose metabolic burden for host bacterial strains, we therefore examine the stability and fitness cost of a mcr-1-carrying 265.5-kb IncHI2 plasmid, pMCR1_1943, in Escherichia coli in nutrient-rich LB and nutrient-restricted M9 broth. Stability
