<i>In vitro</i> evolution of colistin resistance in the <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> complex follows multiple evolutionary trajectories with variable effects on fitness and virulence characteristics

2020-05-24

Abstract excerpt

The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens, including Klebsiella pneumoniae , has led to a resurgence in the use of colistin as a last-resort drug. Colistin is a cationic lipopeptide antibiotic that selectively acts on Gram-negative bacteria through electrostatic interactions with anionic phosphate groups of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Colistin resi...
