During a Brazilian multicentric antimicrobial resistance surveillance study, colistin resistance
was investigated in 4,620 Enterobacteriaceae isolated from human, animal, food and …

The detection and rapid spread of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae carrying the mcr-1
gene has created an urgent need to strengthen surveillance. In this study, eight clonally …

The recently discovered colistin resistance-encoding element, mcr-1, adds to the list of
mobile resistance genes whose products rapidly erode the antimicrobial efficacy of not only …

A set of 908 clinically derived colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaeae isolates collected
worldwide in 2014–2016 were screened for the presence of the plasmid-borne mcr-1, mcr-2 …

Colistin resistance was detected in 53 of 10,011 Escherichia coli (0.5%) by prospective
phenotypic testing of consecutive clinical isolates in a single hospital in Barcelona, Spain …

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 initial report of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 detected in
Escherichia coli isolates from China (1) and the numerous follow up publications reporting …

We identified a novel plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance gene in porcine and bovine
colistin-resistant Escherichia coli that did not contain mcr-1. The gene, termed mcr-2, a 1,617 …

Colistin resistance genes mcr-3 and mcr-1 have been detected in an Escherichia coli isolate
from cattle faeces in a Spanish slaughterhouse in 2015. The sequences of both genes …

The plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, was detected in an Escherichia coli
isolate from a Danish patient with bloodstream infection and in five E. coli isolates from …
