Abstract excerpt
Colistin is the last-resort antibiotic to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections that are untreatable by other clinically available antibiotics. However, the recently merged plasmid-borne gene mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) leads to modification of the colistin target (i.e., bacterial membrane), greatly compromising the therapy outcome of colistin. To address this unmet clinical...
