Spread of mcr-1–Driven Colistin Resistance on Hospital Surfaces, Italy

23 Jul 2018

Abstract excerpt

Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance driven by the mcr-1 gene is of great clinical concern. Its diffusion in the hospital environment is unknown. We detected mcr-1-driven resistance in 8.3% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates from hospital surfaces in Italy, which might represent a reservoir of threatening nosocomial pathogens.
