The colistin resistance<i>mcr-1</i>gene is going wild: Table 1.

Abstract excerpt

Sir, Since the first report by Liu et al.1 of the plasmid-encoded mcr-1 gene conferring colistin resistance, its presence has been documented worldwide in food and food-producing animals, the environment and humans.2 However, the presence of the mcr-1 gene in wildlife, i.e. animals that do not naturally come into contact with antibiotics, has rarely been documented. In the present study, we determined the...
