Diverse Escherichia coli lineages from domestic animals carrying colistin resistance gene mcr-1 in an Ecuadorian household

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential animal reservoirs of Escherichia coli carrying the mcr-1 gene in an Ecuadorian household. Methods: The mobile colistin-resistance gene, mcr-1, was first detected in Ecuador in a commensal E. coli isolate from a boy. A cross-sectional study was...
