Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The mechanisms underlying chromosomally encoded colistin resistance in Escherichia coli remain insufficiently investigated. In this study, we investigated the contribution of various pmrB mutations from E. coli clinical isolates to colistin resistance. METHODS: The resistance mechanisms in eight mcr-negative colistin-resistant E. coli isolates obtained from a nationwide surveillance program in Taiwan...
