The Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene, <i>mcr-1.1</i>, Is Carried on IncX4 Plasmids in Multidrug Resistant <i>E. coli</i> Isolated from Rainbow Trout Aquaculture

Colistin, a last resort antibiotic, is important for controlling infections with carbapenem-resistant <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i>. The recent emergence of mobile-colistin-resistance (<i>mcr</i>) genes has threatened the effectiveness of colistin. Aquaculture is hypothesized to...
