Since the first description of a plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene (mcr-1) in
November 2015 multiple reports of mcr-1 positive isolates indicate a worldwide spread of …

On 18 November 2015, Liu et al. reported the first description of plasmid-mediated colistin
resistance (mcr-1 gene) in food animals, food and humans in China [1]. In this issue …

Global spread of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1 poses a challenge to
public health because colistin is the last-line-of-defense against severe infections of …

Colistin resistance was investigated in 1,696 isolates collected from 2007 to 2014 within the

Recently, plasmid-mediated colistin resistance was reported in humans, animals and food.
We studied the presence of mcr-1 and mcr-2 in Dutch retail chicken meat. The prevalence of …

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of plasmid-mediated colistin
resistance in domestic and imported meat and slaughter animals in the Czech Republic …

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 …
