Colistin resistance genes mcr-3 and mcr-1 have been detected in an Escherichia coli isolate
from cattle faeces in a Spanish slaughterhouse in 2015. The sequences of both genes …

A novel mcr colistin resistance gene was identified in a strain of Salmonella enterica,
monophasic variant of serovar Typhimurium (4, 5, 12: i:-), isolated from a pig at slaughter in …

We identified a novel plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance gene in porcine and bovine
colistin-resistant Escherichia coli that did not contain mcr-1. The gene, termed mcr-2, a 1,617 …

Colistin resistance was detected in 53 of 10,011 Escherichia coli (0.5%) by prospective
phenotypic testing of consecutive clinical isolates in a single hospital in Barcelona, Spain …

In November 2015, the first description of plasmidmediated colistin resistance (mcr-1 gene)
was reported from China in food animals, food and humans [1]. Many reports from all over …

The plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, was detected in an Escherichia coli
isolate from a Danish patient with bloodstream infection and in five E. coli isolates from …

Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant
Gram-negative bacilli (MDR-GNB). The emergence of colistin resistance, particularly linked …

Abstract Objectives In November 2015, a plasmid-mediated colistin resistance, MCR-1, was
described in animals, food and humans in China, and it was considered as a potential …

Colistin resistance was investigated in 1,696 isolates collected from 2007 to 2014 within the
frame of the French livestock antimicrobial resistance surveillance programme. The mcr-1 …

Background and aim Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanisms have been
identified worldwide in the past years. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol …
