mcr-1.2, an allelic variant of the transferable colistin resistance gene mcr-1, was characterized in a colistin-resistant blood isolate of Escherichia coli. It was harbored by an IncX4-type plasmid (33,293 bp). Despite its low prevalence, the potentially worrying spread of the mcr-1 gene, particularly its mcr-1.2 variant, in Italy requires increasing surveillance.
mcr-1.2是可转移的黏菌素抗性基因mcr-1的一个等位变体,在一株耐黏菌素的大肠杆菌血液分离株中得到鉴定。它由一个IncX4型质粒(33293 bp)携带。尽管其流行率较低,但mcr-1基因,尤其是其mcr-1.2变体在意大利的潜在令人担忧的传播情况需要加强监测。
