Identification of <i>mcr-1</i> Genes and Characterization of Resistance Mechanisms to Colistin in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates from Colombian Hospitals

We report the presence of the <i>mcr-1</i> gene among 880 <i>Escherichia coli</i> clinical isolates collected in 13 hospitals from 12 Colombian cities between 2016 and 2019. Seven (0.8%) isolates were colistin resistant (MIC ≥ 4 µg/mL). These colistin-resistant isolates were...
