Detection of plasmid-borne mcr genes conferring colistin resistance in MDR and XDR Gram-negative bacterial isolates from an Egyptian hospital

Background: Infections with multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria represent a serious public health risk, especially with the emergence of colistin resistance. Colistin resistance is mainly mediated by chromosomal mutations; however, there are reports of transferable plasmid-mediated col...
