29 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Transferable polymyxin resistance mediated by the mcr-1 plasmid-borne gene has been described recently in Enterobacteriaceae, mostly in Escherichia coli, from animals, food, and patients in China.1 This has raised considerable concern in view of pandrug resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. MCR-1-producing enterobacterial pathogens have been reported worldwide. Several cases of community- and hospital-acquired...
