Plasmidic resistance to colistin mediated by mcr-1 gene in Escherichia coli clinical isolates in Argentina: A retrospective study, 2012–2018
Objective. To describe the resistance profile and the genetic characteristics of Escherichia coli isolates that harbor the mobilizable colistin resistance gene mcr-1 in Argentina. Methods. This was a retrospective study of 192 E. coli isolates positive for mcr-1 obtained from 69 hospitals of Buenos...
