The Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene, mcr-1.1, Is Carried on IncX4 Plasmids in Multidrug Resistant E. coli Isolated from Rainbow Trout Aquaculture
Colistin, a final resort antibiotic, is vital for controlling infections with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The current emergence of mobile-colistin-resistance (mcr) genes has threatened the effectiveness of colistin. Aquaculture is hypothesized to be a serious contributor to the evolution and dissemination of mcr. Nevertheless, knowledge on mcr in aquaculture are restricted. Right here, the incidence of mcr-1 was assessed in...
