The co-existence of the colistin resistance (mcr) gene with multiple drug-resistance genes
has raised concerns about the possibility of the development of pan-drug-resistant bacteria …

The advent of antimicrobials-resistant (AMR), including colistin-resistant bacteria, poses a
significant challenge to animal and human health, food safety, socio-economic growth, and …

Background Colistin is an antibiotic used as a last-resort to treat multidrug-resistant Gram-
negative bacterial infections. Colistin had been used for a long time in veterinary medicine …

Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. The
occurrence and spread of colistin resistance in humans and animals have been reported …

Objectives Colistin is one of the last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of multidrug-resistant
(MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. We determined the occurrence and …

Background Tolerance of gram negative pathogens toward last resort colistin is mediated by
mcr genes and alterations in chromosomal mgrB via modification of lipopolysaccharide …

The emergence of colistin resistance in Escherichia coli is a global public health concern.
Contaminated food can accelerate the spread of colistin-resistant E. coli to humans. This …

The global food chain may significantly promote the dissemination of bacteria resistant to
antibiotics around the world. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence and …

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

Poultry meat is considered as a potential source of colistin resistant Escherichia coli
(CREC). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of CREC in …
