DETECTION OF PLASMID-MEDIATED RESISTANCE AGAINST COLISTIN IN MULTI-DRUG-RESISTANT GRAM-NEGATIVE BACILLI ISOLATED FROM A TERTIARY HOSPITAL

Detection of Plasmid-Mediated Resistance against Colistin in Multi-Drug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated from a Tertiary Hospital

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mcr-1 to mcr-5 genes among colistin and multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli strains isolated from patients in a tertiary hospital in Toluca, Mexico.The presence of mcr genes among the 241 strains collected was assessed by PCR.In the case of mcr-carr
