The plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, was identified for the first time from a hospitalized patient in South Korea. The mcr-1 gene was successfully transferred to E. coli J53 recipient and conferred resistance to colistin in the recipient. The mcr-1-harboring plasmid possessed a typical IncI2 group and did not have the mcr-1-associated ISApl1 element.
质粒介导的黏菌素耐药基因mcr-1首次从韩国一名住院患者中鉴定出来。mcr-1基因成功转移至大肠杆菌J53受体菌,并使受体菌获得对黏菌素的耐药性。携带mcr-1的质粒具有典型的IncI2菌群,且没有与mcr-1相关的ISApl1元件。
