Non-clonal emergence of colistin resistance associated with mutations in the BasRS two-component system in <i>Escherichia coli</i> bloodstream isolates
2019-12-05
Abstract excerpt
Infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are increasingly common, prompting the renewed interest in the use of colistin. Colistin specifically targets Gram-negative bacteria by interacting with the anionic lipid A moieties of lipopolysaccharides, leading to membrane destabilization and cell death. Here, we aimed to uncover the mechanisms of colistin resistance in nine colistin-resistant Escherichi...
