The objective of this study was to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of colistin
for Escherichia coli from food animals and the possible underlying colistin resistance …

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 …

Objectives This study investigated the prevalence and characteristics of mcr-1-harbouring
Escherichia coli isolated from chickens in central China from 2014 to 2019. Methods A total …

Increasing colistin resistance is a global concern because colistin is used as a last resort for
the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections. The plasmid-mediated …

Colistin is the last line of defense for the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative
bacterial infections. However, colistin resistance is gradually increasing worldwide, with …

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 has been used in veterinary medicine for decades, mainly for the prevention and
treatment of Enterobacteriaceae infections. However, data regarding colistin resistance in …

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 …

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 …

The emergence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 is threatening the
last-line role of colistin in human medicine. With mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli (E. coli) …
