Moraxella Species as Potential Sources of MCR-Like Polymyxin Resistance Determinants
21 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Plasmid-mediated resistance to polymyxins mediated by the MCR-1/2 determinants has been reported in Enterobacteriaceae worldwide. Using PCR-based and cloning strategies, a series of Moraxella spp. were screened for mcr -like genes. Moraxella spp. that are mainly animal pathogens but may also be human pathogens were identified as potential reservoirs of mcr -like genes.
