A Novel Deletion Mutation in pmrB Contributes to Concurrent Colistin Resistance in Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli Sequence Type 405 of Clinical Origin
8 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
We report the first clinical Escherichia coli strain EC3000 with concomitant chromosomal colistin and carbapenem resistance. A novel in-frame deletion, Δ6-11 (RPISLR), in pmrB that contributes to colistin resistance was verified using recombinant DNA techniques. Although being less fit than the wild-type (WT) strain or EC3000 revertant (chromosomal replacement of WT pmrB in EC3000), a portion of serially passaged...
