Plasmids as donors of Insertion Sequence elements mediating colistin resistance in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>
2021-11-02
Abstract excerpt
Colistin is a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). In line with rising colistin use worldwide, colistin resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ( K. pneumoniae ) isolates have emerged. The disruption of mgrB by insertion sequences (ISs) has been widely reported worldwide representing a mechanism mediating colistin resistance. Evidence suggests plasmids encod...
