Molecular Epidemiology of Extensively Drug-Resistant <i>mcr</i> Encoded Colistin-Resistant Bacterial Strains Co-Expressing Multifarious β-Lactamases

Molecular Epidemiology of Extensively Drug-Resistant <i>mcr</i> Encoded Colistin-Resistant Bacterial Strains Co-Expressing Multifarious β-Lactamases

Plasmid-mediated colistin resistance (Col-R) conferred by <i>mcr</i> genes endangers the last therapeutic option for multifarious β-lactamase-producing bacteria. The current study aimed to explore the <i>mcr</i> gene molecular epidemiology in extensively drug-resistant (XDR)...
