Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Identified a Multitude of mcr-1 to mcr-5 Genes in Fresh Cow Dung in Bangladesh: An Urgent Public Health Concern [PDF]

Advances in Human Biology
Introduction: The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food industry is a serious global public health threat. Colistin is frequently used as a growth promoter in livestock, which is a concern.

The co-transfer of plasmid-borne colistin-resistant genes mcr-1 and mcr-3.5, the carbapenemase gene blaNDM-5 and the 16S methylase gene rmtB from Escherichia coli [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractWe found an unusual Escherichia coli strain with resistance to colistin, carbapenem and amikacin from sewage. We therefore characterized the strain and determined the co-transfer of the resistance determinants. Whole genome sequencing was performed using both Illumina HiSeq X10 and MinION sequencers.

Screening for fecal presence of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli and mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes in camel-calves in southern Tunisia

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2018
Camels (Camelus dromedarius) are known to harbor multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria and to be involved in the transmission of various microorganisms to humans.

Rapid detection of human origin colistin-resistance genes mcr-1, mcr-3, mcr-8, mcr-10 in clinical fecal samples [PDF]

Archives of Microbiology, 2021
Plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance genes have been reported in human origin clinical samples worldwide which raises its threats to human infections. Notably, mcr-1, mcr-3, mcr-8, and mcr-10 have been reported isolated directly from clinical samples which creates more seriously threaten to human health than other mcr gene types. A multiplex polymerase

Epidemiology of mobile colistin resistance genes mcr-1 to mcr-9

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020
Abstract The identification of the first mobile colistin resistance (MCR) gene, mcr-1, in 2015 triggered a rash of mcr screening reports. Subsequently, nine MCR-family genes and their variants have been described. However, a comprehensive overview concerning the epidemiology of the whole MCR family, which is essential for facilitating ...

High Fecal Prevalence of mcr-Positive Escherichia coli in Veal Calves at Slaughter in France

Antibiotics, 2022
The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of healthy veal calves carrying mcr-positive E. coli strains at the time of slaughter in France. Fecal samples were selectively screened for mcr-positive E. coli isolates using media supplemented with

Molecular epidemiology of mcr gene group [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020
Colistin and polymyxin B are the “last reserve” antimicrobials for the treatment of extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The rapidly increasing prevalence of polymyxin resistance mediated by the mcr gene localized on plasmid DNA currently poses a high epidemiological threat.

Rapid detection and differentiation of mobile colistin resistance (mcr-1 to mcr-10) genes by real-time PCR and melt-curve analysis [PDF]

, 2021
Background The emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) micro-organisms prompted new interest in older antibiotics, such as colistin, that had been abandoned previously due to limited efficacy or high toxicity.
