Locally Acquired mcr-1 in Escherichia coli, Australia, 2011 and 2013
نویسندگان
چکیده
We identified discrete importation events of the mcr-1 gene on incompatibility group IncI2 plasmids in Escherichia coli isolated from patients in New South Wales, Australia, in 2011 and 2013. mcr-1 is present in a small minority of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and appears not to be established locally.

High Prevalence of Colistin Resistance and mcr-1 Gene in Escherichia coli Isolated from Food Animals in China
The objective of this study was to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of colistin for Escherichia coli from food animals and the possible underlying colistin resistance mechanisms. During 2007-2014, 4,438 E. coli isolates of food animal origins were collected. The susceptibility of colistin was tested by the agar dilution method. Mutations in pmrA, pmrB, and mgrB and the presence of...
متن کاملHigh Rate of MCR-1–Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae among Pigs, Portugal
The mcr-1 (mobile colistin resistance 1) gene, which encodes phosphoethanolamine transferase, has been recently identified as a source of acquired resistance to polymyxins in Escherichia coli. Using the SuperPolymyxin selective medium, we prospectively screened 100 pigs at 2 farms in Portugal for polymyxin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and recovered 98 plasmid-mediated MCR-1-producing isolates. ...
متن کاملAcquisition of mcr-1 Plasmid-Mediated Colistin Resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae during Hajj 2013 and 2014.
Aplasmid-mediated transferable colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, was recently described in China (1) and was rapidly reported in several other countries (2). The spread of the mcr-1 gene was not only reported in Escherichia coli but also associated with other Enterobacteriaceae species isolated from human clinical samples, farm animals, and travelers (2, 3). However, whether or not the mcr-1 gen...
متن کاملAcquired Antimicrobial Resistance Genes of Escherichia coli Obtained from Nigeria: In silico Genome Analysis
Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem with enormous public health and economic impact. This study was carried out to get an overview of acquired antimicrobial resistance gene sequences in the genomes of Escherichia coli isolated from different food sources and the environment in Nigeria. Methods: To determine the acquired antimicrobial-resistant genes prevalence, genome asse...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Escherichia coli originated MCR-1, a phosphoethanolamine transferase for Colistin Resistance
MCR-1 is a phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) transferase that modifies the pEtN moiety of lipid A, conferring resistance to colistin, which is an antibiotic belonging to the class of polypeptide antibiotics known as polymyxins and is the last-line antibiotic used to treat multidrug resistant bacterial infections. Here we determined the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MCR-1 (MCR-1-ED), whi...
