Resistance to Colistin Mediated by mcr-1 among Multidrug Resistant Gram Negative Pathogens at a Tertiary Care Hospital, Egypt

Colistin is considered the last option for treatment of infections caused by Multidrug Resistant (MDR) Gram negative pathogens. The mcr-1 gene could transfer the resistance to colistin between different species. Therefore, screening of this resistance mechanism will help greatly in the control of...
