Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious public-health problem throughout the
world. Escherichia coli, the most common Gram-negative microorganism, has developed …

Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes (mcr-1 to mcr-10) are plasmid-encoded genes that
threaten the clinical utility of colistin (COL), one of the highest-priority critically important …

A major increase of bacterial resistance to colistin, a last-resort treatment for severe
infections, was observed globally. Using colistin in livestock rearing is believed to be the …

Colistin, the last resort for multidrug and extensively drug-resistant bacterial infection
treatment, was reintroduced after being avoided in clinical settings from the 1970s to the …

Plasmid-borne colistin resistance is considered one of the most complex public health
concerns worldwide. Several studies reported the presence of the mcr-1.1 harboring …

Microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are prevalent among humans and
animals, and also found in the environment. Though organisms with AMR can spread to …

Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (Col-R) conferred by mcr genes endangers the last
therapeutic option for multifarious β-lactamase-producing bacteria. The current study aimed …

Escherichia coli ST131 is one of the high-risk multidrug-resistant clones with a global
distribution and the ability to persist and colonize in a variety of niches. Carbapenemase …

Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
Phenotypic colistin resistance is highly associated with plasmid-mediated mobile colistin …

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 …
