Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The resistance ofmcr-1-carrying Enterobacteriaceae to polymyxins, which are last-resort antibiotics, has raised great concern worldwide. In this study, four mcr-1-carrying plasmids isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates were completely sequenced and the genome composition of the mcr-1-carrying plasmids was analysed. METHODS: Antimicrobial resistance genes and antimicrobial...
