Antimicrobial resistance and mcr-1 gene in Escherichia coli isolated from poultry samples submitted to a bacteriology laboratory in South Africa [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and recently mobilized colistin resistance (mcr-1) associated colistin resistance among Escherichia coli isolates have been attributed to the overuse of antimicrobials in livestock production. E.

Molecular detection of colistin resistance genes (mcr-1 to mcr-5) in human vaginal swabs
BMC Research Notes, 2018 Objective Colistin resistance has emerged worldwide and has been threatening the efficacy of one of the last-resort antimicrobials used for treatment of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. While five colistin resistance genes (mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3,

Solid-Phase PCR-Amplified DNAzyme Activity for Real-Time FO-SPR Detection of the MCR-2 Gene
Analytical Chemistry, 2020 The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the gold standard molecular analysis technique for decades and has seen quite some evolution in terms of reaction components, methodology, and readout mechanisms. Nucleic acid enzymes (NAzymes) have been used to further exploit the applications of PCR, but so far the work was limited to the colorimetric G ...

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.

Evaluation of a New Commercial Microarray Platform for the Simultaneous Detection of β-Lactamase and mcr-1 and mcr-2 Genes in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017 The worldwide prevalence of infections due to Gram-negative bacteria coresistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems is worrisome. For these organisms, polymyxins are considered the last-resort antibacterials.
