Identification of a novel MCR-1 variant displaying low level of co-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics that uncovers a potential novel antimicrobial peptide
2023-04-03
Abstract excerpt
The emerging and global spread of a novel plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1 , threatens human health. It is accepted that MCR-1 affects bacterial fitness, and this fitness cost correlates with bacterial membrane lipid A perturbation. However, the detailed molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we screened out a novel MCR-1 variant, named M6, with a two-point mutation that rendered a low level o...
