| Summary: | The MCR-type polymyxin resistance gene localized on a mobile genetic element was described was described in 2015 for the first time. Publications, following the first description, demonstrated the global distribution of MCR-type genes and the role of animal husbandry in this process. At the same time, practical importance of polymyxins is growing, considering spread of genes of acquired resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. This review briefly summarizes the principal data on this issue. |
