Heterogeneous resistance to colistin in Enterobacter cloacae complex due to a new small transmembrane protein
11 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Enterobacter strains can display heterogeneous resistance (heteroresistance) to colistin but the mechanisms remain largely unknown. We investigated potential mechanisms of colistin heteroresistance in an Enterobacter clinical strain, WCHECl-1060, and found a new mechanism. METHODS: Strain WCHECl-1060 was subjected to WGS to identify known colistin resistance mechanisms. Tn5 insertional mutagenesis,...
