Dissemination and Mechanism for the MCR-1 Colistin Resistance.

Dissemination and Mechanism for the MCR-1 Colistin Resistance.

Polymyxins are the last line of defense against lethal infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Very recently, the use of polymyxins has been greatly challenged by the emergence of the plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr-1). However, the mechanistic aspects of...
