Colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria analysed by five phenotypic assays and inference of the underlying genomic mechanisms
2021-06-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Colistin is used against multi-drug resistant pathogens, yet resistance emerges either through dissemination of plasmid-mediated genes (<italic>mcr</italic>) or chromosomal mutation of genes involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis (i.e. <italic>mgrB, phoPQ, pmrCAB).</italic> Phenotypic susceptibility testing is challenging due to poor diffusion of colistin in agar media, le...
