International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Colistin is a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacterial infections. The global emergence of colistin resistance has been attributed to plasmid‐mediated mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes. In Lebanon, bacteria carrying the mcr-1 gene have increasingly been identified in food animal sources.

CsrA and its regulators control the time-point of ColicinE2 release in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Scientific Reports 8, 6537 (2018), 2018 The bacterial SOS response is a cellular reaction to DNA damage, that, among other actions, triggers the expression of colicin - toxic bacteriocins in Escherichia coli that are released to kill close relatives competing for resources. However, it is largely unknown, how the complex network regulating toxin expression controls the time-point of toxin ...

Two Distinct Cytotoxic Activities of Subtilase Cytotoxin Produced by Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2007 ABSTRACT Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is a recently identified AB5 subunit toxin produced by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli. The A subunit is thought to be a subtilase-like, serine protease, whereas the B subunit binds to the toxin receptor on the cell surface. We cloned the genes from a clinical isolate;
