PRO/AH/EDR> Antibiotic resistance – China: colistin, plasmid-encoded, humans, animals
Antibiotic resistance -- ChinaSummary------------Background---------------Until now, polymyxin resistance has involved chromosomal mutations but has never been reported via horizontal gene transfer. During a routine surveillance project on antimicrobial resistance in commensal _Escherichia coli_ from food animals in China, a major increase of colistin resistance was observed. When an _E. coli_ strain, SHP45, possessing colistin resistance that could be transferred to another strain, was isolated Read more [...]
