Dual Effects of Feed-Additive-Derived Chelerythrine in Combating Mobile Colistin Resistance
Engineering, 2023 The emergence and spread of the mobile colistin-resistance gene, mcr-1, and its variants pose a challenge to the use of colistin, a last-resort antibiotic used to treat severe infections caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative pathogens.

First report of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mcr-8.1 gene from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from Lebanon [PDF]
Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2020 Colistin is considered as a last resort treatment for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Plasmid-mediated mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes contributed to the global spread of colistin resistance.

The first human report of mobile colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, in Finland [PDF]
APMIS, 2022 Colistin resistance mediated by mobile mcr-1 gene has raised concern during the last years. After steep increase in mcr-1 reports, other mcr-gene variants (mcr-2 to mcr-5) have been revealed as well.

Proposal for assignment of allele numbers for mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018 The initial report of the mcr-1 (mobile colistin resistance) gene has led to many reports of mcr-1 variants and other mcr genes from different bacterial species originating from human, animal and environmental samples in different geographical locations.

Emergence of Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter junii in China
Antibiotics, 2022 The increasing number of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria presents a serious threat to global health. However, colistin-resistant Acinetobacter junii has rarely been reported. We identified a colistin-resistant A. junii clinical isolate, AJ6079,

Putative mobilized colistin resistance genes in the human gut microbiome [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2021 Abstract 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.
