Repeated Occurrence of Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene-Carrying Plasmids in Pathogenic Escherichia coli from German Pig Farms. [PDF]

Microorganisms
The global spread of plasmid-mediated mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes threatens the vital role of colistin as a drug of last resort. We investigated whether the recurrent occurrence of specific E.

Transmission of Mobile Colistin Resistance (mcr-1) by Duodenoscope. [PDF]

Clin Infect Dis, 2019
Clinicians increasingly utilize polymyxins for treatment of serious infections caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Emergence of plasmid-mediated, mobile colistin resistance genes creates potential for rapid spread of polymyxin resistance.

The Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene, mcr-1.1, Is Carried on IncX4 Plasmids in Multidrug Resistant E. coli Isolated from Rainbow Trout Aquaculture. [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Colistin, a last resort antibiotic, is important for controlling infections with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The recent emergence of mobile-colistin-resistance (mcr) genes has threatened the effectiveness of colistin.

Global Burden of Colistin-Resistant Bacteria: Mobilized Colistin Resistance Genes Study (1980–2018) [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2019
Colistin is considered to be an antimicrobial of last-resort for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The recent global dissemination of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes is an urgent public health threat. An accurate estimate of the global prevalence of mcr genes, their reservoirs and the potential pathways ...

Mobile colistin resistance: Prevalence, mechanisms, and current detection methods

HO CHI MINH CITY OPEN UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE - ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, 2022
Colistin is considered the last-line antibiotic against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The global dissemination of Mobile colistin resistance mcr-harboring bacteria is threatening public health. Such isolates have been detected in various reservoirs including animals, food products, the environment, and humans.

ISEc69-Mediated Mobilization of the Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-2 in Escherichia coli [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
ObjectivesThe emergence of mobile colistin resistance genes has compromised the efficacy of the last resort antibiotic, colistin, in clinical treatment. The mcr-2 gene was first identified in Belgium in association with the insertion sequence ISEc69.

Farm animals and aquaculture: significant reservoirs of mobile colistin resistance genes [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2020
Summary Colistin resistance has attracted substantial attention after colistin was considered as a last‐resort drug for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem‐resistant and/or multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Gram‐negative bacteria in clinical settings.

Presence of Colistin- and Tigecycline-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST29 in Municipal Wastewater Influents in Japan [PDF]

, 2021
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of colistin- and/or tigecycline-resistant Klebsiella spp. in influents from four wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which partly reflect the gut microbiome of human populations.
