Prevalence and Relatedness of mcr-1-Mediated Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated From Livestock and Farmers in Japan
Colistin is used to treat infectious diseases in humans and livestock; it has also been used as a feed additive for livestock for approximately 50 years. Since the mcr-1 plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene was discovered in China in 2015, it has been detected worldwide, mainly in livestock. In...
