Abstract excerpt
Since 2016, several mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes have been identified worldwide. It's worth noting that only mcr-1, mcr-3, mcr-8, and mcr-10 have been reported isolated directly from clinical samples which created greater risk to human health than other mcr gene types. A novel Quadruplex polymerase chain reaction (Quad-PCR) protocol was developed to detect and genotype transferable colistin-resistance...
