Massive analysis of 64’628 bacterial genomes to decipher a water reservoir and origin of mobile colistin resistance ( <i>mcr</i> ) gene variants: is there another role for this family of enzymes?
2019-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Since 2015, new worrying colistin resistance mechanism, mediated by mcr -1 gene has been reported worldwide along with eight newly described variants ( mcr -2 to mcr -9) but their source(s) and reservoir(s) remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted a massive bioinformatic analysis of 64’628 downloaded bacterial genomes to investigate the reservoir and origin of these mcr variants. We identified a total of...
