Characterization of genetic elements carrying mcr-1 gene in Escherichia coli from the community and hospital settings in Vietnam
Colistin is widely used in agriculture and aquaculture as prophylaxis, particularly in Asia. Recently, mcr-1 and other mobilizable genes conferring colistin resistance have spread globally in community and hospital populations. Characterizing mcr-1 mobile genetic elements and host genetic background...
