Fast and robust detection of colistin resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i> using the MALDI Biotyper Sirius mass spectrometry system
2019-08-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Polymyxin antibiotics are a last-line treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, the emergence of colistin resistance, including the spread of mobile mcr genes, necessitates the development of improved diagnostics for the detection of colistin-resistant organisms in hospital settings. The recently developed MALDIxin test enables detection of colistin resistance by MALDI-...
