First Report of Colistin-Resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> Carrying <i>mcr-1</i> IncI2(delta) and IncX4 Plasmids from Camels (<i>Camelus dromedarius</i>) in the Gulf Region

First Report of Colistin-Resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> Carrying <i>mcr-1</i> IncI2(delta) and IncX4 Plasmids from Camels (<i>Camelus dromedarius</i>) in the Gulf Region

Addressing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant challenge in veterinary and public health. In this study, we focused on determining the presence, phenotypic background, and genetic epidemiology of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (<i>mcr</i>) in <i&g...
