Putative mobilized colistin resistance genes in the human gut microbiome

2021-01-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The high incidence of bacterial genes that confer resistance to last-resort antibiotics, such as colistin caused by MCR genes, poses an unprecedented threat to our civilization’s health. To understand the spread, evolution, and distribution of such genes among human populations, with the final goal of diminishing their occurrence in human environments should be a priority. To tackle this probl...
