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 …

Aquaculture systems are widely recognised as hotspots for horizontal gene transfer, and the
need for screening for bacteria carrying antimicrobial resistance genes in aquaculture …

The occurrence of colistin resistance has increased rapidly among Enterobacterales around
the world. We performed a national survey of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in human …

Objectives: The growing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is an inexorable
and fatal challenge in modern medicine. Colistin is a cationic polypeptide considered a “last …

Objectives In veterinary medicine, colistin has been widely used as therapeutic and
prophylactic agent, and for growth promotion. However, colistin has been re-introduced into …

Escherichia coli ST1485 strains belong to the clinically important phylogroup F and have
disseminated worldwide in humans, animals, and the environment. Here, we elucidated the …

Escherichia coli sequence type 963 (ST963) is a neglected lineage closely related to ST38,
a globally widespread extraintestinal pathogenic ST causing urinary tract infections (UTI) as …

Colistin is still commonly used and misused in animal husbandry driving the evolution and
dissemination of transmissible plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (mcr). mcr-1.26 is a rare …

Citrobacter spp. are Gram-negative bacteria commonly found in environments and intestinal
tracts of humans and animals. They are generally susceptible to third-generation …

Purpose Colistin represents one of the last treatment options for infections caused by multi-
drug resistant (MDR) Enterobacterales. The emergence of a plasmid-mediated mobile …
