<i>Vibrio</i> are a potential source of novel colistin-resistance genes in European coastal environments
2024-10-11
Abstract excerpt
Colistin is a widespread last resort antibiotic for treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The recent worldwide emergence of colistin resistance (Col-R) conferred by mcr -1 in human pathogens has raised concern, but the putative sources and reservoirs of novel mcr genes in the marine environment remain underexplored. We observed a high prevalence of Col-R, particularly in Vibrio isolated from European coast...
