Molecular Epidemiology of <i>mcr-1</i>-Positive <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolates: Results from Russian Sentinel Surveillance (2013–2018)

Background: The dissemination of mobile colistin resistance (<i>mcr</i>) genes is a serious healthcare threat because polymyxins represent “last-line” therapeutics for multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of colistin resistance and <i...
