First environmental sample containing plasmid‐mediated colistin‐resistant ESBL‐producing Escherichia coli detected in Norway
22 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
We hereby report the detection of the plasmid borne mcr-1 gene conferring colistin resistance in an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli ST10 strain retrieved from seawater at a public beach in Norway. The sample was collected in September 2010 and was investigated by whole-genome sequencing in 2016. This report illustrates that E. coli strains carrying plasmid-mediated colistin...
