Prevalence of colistin resistance gene (mcr-1) containing Enterobacteriaceae in feces of patients attending a tertiary care hospital and detection of a mcr-1 containing, colistin susceptible E. coli.

PMID: 285750762017Netherlands

Key Findings

The study identified a colistin-susceptible E. coli strain harboring the mcr-1 gene, which was rendered nonfunctional due to an IS10R transposon insertion. The mcr-1 gene was found to be present in 0.35% of fecal samples from patients at a tertiary care hospital.
