Characterization of the global distribution and diversified plasmid reservoirs of the colistin resistance gene mcr-9
15 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
The emergence and spread of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes have triggered extensive concerns worldwide. Here, we characterized the global distribution of mcr-9, a newly-identified variant of mcr, by assembling the data set of mcr-9-positive isolates from GenBank database and the literature available. Genetic features of all the mcr-9-harboring plasmids were determined by bioinformatic analysis. We...
