Emergence of plasmid-mediated mcr genes from Gram-negative bacteria at the human-animal interface

Abstract Background The global emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (Col-R) conferred by mcr genes in gram-negative rods (GNRs) has jeopardized the last treatment option for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in humans. This study aimed to assess the emergence of mcr gene-mediated...
