Abstract excerpt
Colistin (polymyxin E) is a group of cationic antimicrobial cyclic peptides and is recognized as a last-resort defense against lethal infections with carbapenem-resistant pathogens. In addition to the plasmid-borne mobilized phosphoethanolamine (PEA) transferases, the functional expression of lipid A-modifying enzymes encoded on chromosomes has been attributed to intrinsic bacterial colistin resistance. However,...
