Prevalence and transmission of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) gene in bacteria common to animals and humans

2020-05-07

Abstract excerpt

Colistin is an old antimicrobial that has been revitalized as last-resort treatment against multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacterial infections. However, colistin has been widely used in agricultural production and veterinary medicine for decades, and the recent global dissemination of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes from animals to humans seriously threats the clinical use of colistin. Most of...
