Human Microbiota: a Reservoir of Plasmids Conferring Colistin Resistance

Human Microbiota: a Reservoir of Plasmids Conferring Colistin Resistance

Discovery of the plasmid-borne mcr-1 gene conferring colistin resistance has compromised use of the final group of antibiotics, the polymyxins, in treating Gram-negative bacterial infections. In my last report, I documented detection of this gene in China, and then Denmark. To date, it has been dete...
