Rapid detection and quantification of plasmid‐mediated colistin resistance genes ( mcr‐1 to mcr‐5 ) by real‐time PCR in bacterial and environmental samples
8 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Aim The aim of the study was to validate a rapid method to detect and quantify colistin resistance genes (mcr-1 to mcr-5) by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in diverse matrices. Methods and results The detection limit of two newly designed SYBR Green real-time PCR assays for mcr-4 and mcr-5 and of previously published protocols for mcr-1 to mcr-3 was assessed using serial dilutions of reference...
