Genomic Insights into a Colistin-Resistant Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Strain of O23:H4-ST641 Lineage Harboring <i>mcr-1.1</i> on a Conjugative IncHI2 Plasmid from Egypt
The reintroduction of colistin, a last-resort antibiotic for multidrug-resistant pathogens, resulted in the global spread of plasmid-mediated mobile colistin resistance (<i>mcr</i>) genes. Our study investigated the occurrence of colistin resistance among <i>Escherichia coli</i&...
