Epidemiology of mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes in aquatic environments
Colistin is one of the last-line therapies against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, especially carbapenemase-producing isolates, making resistance to this compound a major global public-health crisis. Until recently, colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria was known to arise only by chromosomal mutations.

Global Burden of Colistin Resistant Bacteria: Mobilized Colistin Resistant Genes Study 1980-2018
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018Background: Global dissemination of the mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes provokes a significant public health threat. However, the exact global prevalence of mcr genes, their reservoirs and the potential transmission pathways to humans have not been comprehensively examined. Methods: Bilingual publications in four English (PubMed, Scopus,

Novel Quadruplex PCR for detecting and genotyping mobile colistin resistance genes in human samples
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2021Since 2016, several mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes have been identified worldwide. It's worth noting that only mcr-1, mcr-3, mcr-8, and mcr-10 have been reported isolated directly from clinical samples which created greater risk to human health than other mcr gene types.

Structural insights into the advancements of mobile colistin resistance enzymes
Microbiological ResearchThe plasmid-encoded mobile colistin resistance enzyme (MCR) is challenging the clinical efficacy of colistin as a last-resort antibiotic against multidrug-resistant bacteria. This transferase catalyzes the addition of positively charged phosphoethanolamine to lipid A, and its catalytic domain in the periplasm has been elucidated.
