Characterisation of mcr-4.3 in a colistin-resistant Acinetobacter nosocomialis clinical isolate from Cape Town, South Africa
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Colistin resistance in Acinetobacter spp. is increasing, resulting in potentially untreatable nosocomial infections. Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance is of particular concern due to its low fitness cost and potential transferability to other bacterial strains and species....
