Balancing mcr-1 expression and bacterial survival is a delicate equilibrium between essential cellular defence mechanisms

<p>Background. Mobile colistin resistance, MCR-1, is a lipid A modifying mechanism. Despite is global dissemination, the impact of mcr-1 expression bacterial fitness and pathogenicity is poorly understood. Accordingly, we analysed the impact of MCR-1 on bacterial morphological change...
