ABSTRACT WHO considers colistin as a highest priority critically important drug for human
health, and occurrence of colistin-resistant bacteria in livestock is of health concern. The …

The global dissemination of colistin resistance has received a great deal of attention.
Recently, the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance encoded by mcr genes in Escherichia …

The aim of this study was to assess the presence of mobile colistin resistance in bacteria
isolated from the swine production environment and to analyze the genomic environment of …

Colistin is used to treat infectious diseases in humans and livestock; it has also been used
as a feed additive for livestock for approximately 50 years. Since the mcr-1 plasmid …

Aims: To investigate plasmid-borne colistin resistance mechanism (plasmid-mediated
colistin resistance [mcr-1]) in Escherichia coli of human, veterinary, and environmental origin …

Colistin is widely used in agriculture and aquaculture as prophylaxis, particularly in Asia.
Recently, mcr-1 and other mobilizable genes conferring colistin resistance have spread …

In the past decades, colistin has frequently been used in livestock production globally,
including in Asia (16, 17), although this kind of data is sparse, at best, from most low-and …

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious public-health problem throughout the
world. Escherichia coli, the most common Gram-negative microorganism, has developed …

The emergence and dissemination of colistin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae mediated by
plasmid-borne mcr genes in recent years now pose a threat to public health. In this study, we …

Abstract Objectives In November 2015, a plasmid-mediated colistin resistance, MCR-1, was
described in animals, food and humans in China, and it was considered as a potential …
