Escherichia coli B-Strains Are Intrinsically Resistant to Colistin and Not Suitable for Characterization and Identification of mcr Genes

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to human and animal health. Due to the rise of multi-, extensive, and pandrug resistance, last resort antibiotics, such as colistin, are extremely important in human medicine. While the distribution of colistin resistance genes can be tracked...
