Detection of plasmid mediated colistin resistance (MCR-1) in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica isolated from poultry and swine in Spain

Investigation published in Research in Veterinary Science

April 1st, 2016

Recent findings suggest that use of colistin as a last resort antibiotic is seriously threatened by the rise of a new plasmid mediated mechanism of resistance (MCR-1). This work identifies, by the first time in Southern Europe, the gene mcr-1 in 9 enterobacteria from farm animals (poultry and swine), being of particular relevance its finding in 4 Salmonella enterica, 3 belonging to serovar Typhimurium and 1 to Rissen. MCR-1 was found encoded by a plasmid highly mobilizable by conjugation to the E. coli J53 strain
