Emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance ( mcr-1 ) and New Delhi Metallo β -lactamase (NDM-1) genes in extensively drug resistant Escherichia coli isolated from a patient in Thailand
Abstract We reported a case of E.coli with colistin resistance and an extensively drug resistant phenotype. Molecular analysis revealed that the isolate carried mcr-1 and multiple β -lactamase genes including, blaNDM1 , blaCTX-M-15 , blaTEM1 , and blaCMY-2 . This is the first report of a clinical mc...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract We reported a case of E.coli with colistin resistance and an extensively drug resistant phenotype. Molecular analysis revealed that the isolate carried mcr-1 and multiple β -lactamase genes including, blaNDM1 , blaCTX-M-15 , blaTEM1 , and blaCMY-2 . This is the first report of a clinical mcr-1 isolate in Thailand highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive antimicrobial resistance containment strategy to prevent further spread. |
