Fitness barriers to spread of colistin resistance overcome by first establishing niche in patients with enhanced colistin exposure

2021-06-13

Abstract excerpt

There is an urgent need to improve our understanding of how new antibiotic resistant organisms emerge and spread. A high-priority resistance threat is the ST258 lineage of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae . Here, we studied resistance to the last-line drug colistin among ST258 by tracking its evolution across 21 U.S. hospitals over the course of a year. Phylogenetic analysis supported a significant fitne...
