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

Multiplex PCR for detection of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance determinants, mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4 and mcr-5 for surveillance purposes [PDF]

, 2018
International audiencePlasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanisms have been identified worldwide in the past years. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol for detection of all currently known transferable colistin resistance genes (mcr ...

Prevalence and Characteristic of Swine-Origin mcr-1-Positive Escherichia coli in Northeastern China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The emergence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 is threatening the last-line role of colistin in human medicine. With mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli (E.

Global phylogenetic analysis of Escherichia coli and plasmids carrying the mcr-1 gene indicates bacterial diversity but plasmid restriction [PDF]

, 2017
To understand the dynamics behind the worldwide spread of the mcr-1 gene, we determined the population structure of Escherichia coli and of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) carrying the mcr-1 gene. After a systematic review of the literature we included 65

Thermophysical Properties of the Desulphurization Slags With Various CaS and CaO/Al2O3 Ratio

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates how CaS content and the CaO/Al2O3 ratio influence the thermophysical properties of desulphurization slags. Using experimental measurements and thermodynamic simulations, this study reveals complex effects on viscosity, surface tension, and density, providing new insight into slag structure and phase behavior under ...

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, genomic characteristics, and transmission dynamics of mcr-1-positive Salmonella enterica Typhimurium from patients with infectious diarrhea

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Background: Previous studies reported the prevalence of mcr-1 among clinical infected Salmonella isolates in China. However, the transmission dynamics of mcr-1 in different ecological niches were not well investigated.

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.
