16 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
The resistance of Enterobacteriaceae to colistin mediated by plasmid-borne mobile mcr genes is an emerging public health concern. This study aimed to explore the distribution and characteristics of Escherichia coli isolates harboring mcr genes from slaughtered pigs in Thailand from 2014 to 2015. A total of 779 E. coli isolates were assessed, of which 61 (7.8%) were found to carry mcr genes, including mcr-1 ,...
