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.

Prevalence and transmission risk of colistin and multidrug resistance in long-distance coastal aquaculture

, 2023
Due to the wide use of antibiotics, intensive aquaculture farms have been recognized as a significant reservoir of antibiotic resistomes. Although the prevalence of colistin resistance genes and multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB) has been documented ...

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 ...

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 ...

Epidemiology of mobile colistin resistance genes mcr-1 to mcr-9

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020
Abstract The identification of the first mobile colistin resistance (MCR) gene, mcr-1, in 2015 triggered a rash of mcr screening reports. Subsequently, nine MCR-family genes and their variants have been described. However, a comprehensive overview concerning the epidemiology of the whole MCR family, which is essential for facilitating ...
