Genomic patterns and characterizations of chromosomally-encoded mcr-1 in Escherichia coli populations

Abstract The emergence and transmission of the mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr-1) threatened the extensive use of polymyxin antimicrobials. Accumulated evidence showed that the banning of colistin additive in livestock feed efficiently reduce mcr-1 prevalence, not only in animals but also in hu...
