Plasmid-determined colistin resistance in the North African countries: A systematic review
We have conducted a systematic review to update available information on plasmid-
mediated colistin resistance (mobilized colistin resistance [mcr]) genes in North African
countries. We have searched the articles of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science
databases reporting plasmid-mediated colistin resistance bacteria isolated in North African
countries. After searching and selection, 30 studies that included 208 mcr-positive isolates
were included. Different mcr-positive strains frequencies were recorded and ranged from 2 …
