Potential spread of mcr-9-carrying IncHI2 plasmids in Enterobacter hormaechei in Vietnam
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2021 : Objectives: Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes are widely distributed around the world. To date, ten major variants of mcr genes are known (mcr-1 to mcr-10).

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 BackgroundIncreasing use of colistin has led to the world-wide emergence of mobile colistin resistant gene (mcr). The present study aimed to identify and characterise mcr and other drug-resistant genes in colistin resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical

Putative mobilized colistin resistance genes in the human gut microbiome
BMC Microbiology, 2021 Background The high incidence of bacterial genes that confer resistance to last-resort antibiotics, such as colistin, caused by mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes, poses an unprecedented threat to human health. Understanding the spread, evolution,

Characterisation of Colistin -Resistant Enterobacterales and Acinetobacter Strains Carrying mcr Genes from Asian Aquaculture Products. [PDF]
Antibiotics (Basel), 2021 Aquaculture systems are widely recognised as hotspots for horizontal gene transfer, and the need for screening for bacteria carrying antimicrobial resistance genes in aquaculture systems is becoming more important.

Convergence of Plasmid-Mediated tmexCD-toprJ With Critical Resistance Genes Fuels Spread of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Global dissemination of tmexCD‐toprJ across bacterial hosts and ecological niches is accompanied by its convergence with blaKPC, blaNDM, and mcr on mobile plasmids. Recombination and acquisition of resistance modules generate distinct multidrug resistant plasmid architectures, facilitating the emergence and spread of high‐risk bacterial populations ...

Molecular Detection of the mcr Genes by Multiplex PCR.
Infection and drug resistance, 2020 The emergence and prevalence of plasmid-mediated colistin-resistant bacterial strains in recent years have raised great concerns in clinical medicine. It is urgently needed to develop a cheaper, faster, simpler, sensitive, and specific molecular detection method to identify and monitor the dissemination of the transferable resistant determinants.Herein,
