Molecular detection of colistin resistance genes (mcr-1 to mcr-5) in human vaginal swabs

19 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Colistin resistance has emerged worldwide and has been threatening the efficacy of one of the last-resort antimicrobials used for treatment of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. While five colistin resistance genes (mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4 and mcr-5) have been described, few data are available on the prevalence of mcr-genes other than mcr-1 in human samples. RESULTS: In this study, the...
