The fitness landscape of the mobilized colistin resistance gene <i>mcr-1</i>
2022-07-22
Abstract excerpt
The emergence and global discovery of the mobilized colistin resistance gene, mcr-1 , limits the clinical effectiveness of colistin as last-resort antibiotic against multiple-drug resistant bacteria. Although MCR-1 exhibits low levels of colistin resistance in E. coli , it is currently unknown whether mcr-1 may potentially evolve a high level of colistin resistance in the future. Here, we generated mcr-1 mutan...
