Occurrence of mcr-1 and mcr-2 colistin resistance genes in porcine Escherichia coli isolates (2010–2020) and genomic characterization of mcr-2-positive E. coli [PDF]
IntroductionThe global emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance is threatening the efficacy of colistin as one of the last treatment options against multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

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]
Background and aim: Plasmid-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-1 ...

Convergence of mcr and carbapenemase genes has been sporadically detected in Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) with an upward trend. However, the state of the epidemic and underlying mechanism of such convergence has been poorly understood.

Antibiotic resistance has become a worldwide public health and biosafety problem. The clinical efficacy of colistin was jeopardized by the report of the first mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene, and subsequently, the mcr-gene family of mcr-1 to mcr-10

Enterobacter spp. are members of the 'ESKAPE' group of pathogens, which which are recognised as the leading cause of multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired infections. Colistin is usually regarded as a last-line therapeutic option for MDR Gram-negative bacilli infections. However, colistin-resistant Enterobacter spp.
