Genetic Analysis of mcr-1-Carrying Plasmids From Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Dutch Tertiary Care Hospital:Evidence for Intrapatient and Interspecies Transmission Events
The role of plasmids in the complex pandemic of antimicrobial resistance is increasingly being recognized. In this respect, multiple mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene-carrying plasmids have been described. However, the characteristics and epidemiology of these plasmids within local healthcare settings are largely unknown. We retrospectively characterized the genetic composition and epidemiology of plasmids from mcr-1-positive bacterial isolates identified from patients from a large academic hospital in the Netherlands. Clinical Gram-negative bacteria with an MIC > 2 μg/mL for colistin,... Mehr ...
