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.

Clinical and Genomic Epidemiology of mcr-9-Carrying Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales Isolates in Metropolitan Atlanta, 2012 to 2017

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. Recently, the ninth allele of the mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene family, designated mcr-9, was reported.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Colistin Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolated from Bovine Mastitis [PDF]

The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2023
Mastitis is a global disease occurring in dairy cows, causing notable economic losses. Extensive use of antibiotics could allow the emergence of mobile antimicrobial resistance genes in mastitis-causing pathogens.

VIM-1-producing Enterobacter asburiae with mobile colistin resistance genes from wastewaters. [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Wastewaters are considered as important players in the spread of antimicrobial resistance, thus affecting the health of humans and animals. Here, we focused on wastewaters as a possible source of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales for the environment.A total of 180 presumptive coliforms from hospital and municipal wastewaters, and a river in the ...

Novel Plasmid-Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-3 in Escherichia coli

mBio, 2017
The mobile colistin resistance gene mcr-1 has attracted global attention, as it heralds the breach of polymyxins, one of the last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of severe clinical infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

The prevalence, diagnosis, and dissemination of mcr-1 in colistin resistance: Progress and challenge

Decoding Infection and Transmission, 2023
Considered as the last defense line against Gram-negative bacteria, colistin is particularly effective against multiple drug-resistant bacteria such as multi-drug resistance (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).

The global distribution and spread of the mobilized colistin resistance gene mcr-1 [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
Abstract Colistin represents one of the very few available drugs for treating infections caused by carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). As such, the recent plasmid-mediated spread of the mobilized colistin resistance gene mcr-1 poses a significant public health threat ...

MCR-1 Confers Cross-Resistance to Bacitracin, a Widely Used In-Feed Antibiotic

mSphere, 2018
Extensive use of colistin in food animals is deemed a major driving force for the emergence and transmission of mcr-1. However, a non-colistin usage factor(s) contributing to mobile colistin resistance may also exist in animal production systems.
