Colistin is one of the last-line drugs against difficult to treat and multidrug-resistant Gram-
negative bacteria. The emergence of mobile colistin resistance gene m cr-1 increased …

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 …

Background mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli has emerged as a significant threat to human
health, veterinary health, and food safety in recent years. After the prohibition of colistin as a …

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 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 …

Objectives Colistin is known as the last resort antibiotic to treat the infections caused by multi-
drug resistant (MDR) foodborne pathogens. The emergence and widespread dissemination …

Antimicrobial resistance to colistin has emerged worldwide threatening the efficacy of one of
the last-resort antimicrobials used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriacea …

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) …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of avian-origin
mcr-1-harbouring Escherichia coli in Shandong Province, China. During 2017—2018, a total …

The rise of the plasmid-encoded colistin resistance gene mcr-1 is a major concern globally.
Here, during a routine surveillance, an unexpectedly high prevalence of Escherichia coli …
