Microevolution of acquired colistin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae from ICU patients receiving selective decontamination of the digestive tract

2020-04-26

Abstract excerpt

Colistin is an antibiotic that targets the lipopolysaccharides present in the membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. It is used as last-resort drug to treat infections with multidrug-resistant strains. Colistin is also used in selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD), a prophylactic therapy used in patients hospitalised in intensive care units (ICUs) to selectively eradicate opportunistic pathogens in...
