A colistin-resistant isolate from a commercial poultry farm in China carried two colistin resistance genes, and variant of , in an IncP plasmid. The variant of the gene, named , encoded two amino acid substitutions compared with the gene. A novel genetic structure, IS-IS, might be the key element mediating the translocation of through the formation of a circular form. The and genes, which are colocated on a plasmid, might pose a huge threat to public health.
从中国一家商业家禽养殖场分离的一株粘菌素耐药菌,在一个 IncP 质粒上携带两个粘菌素耐药基因 mcr-1 和 mcr-3 的变体。mcr-3 基因的变体命名为 mcr-3.1,与 mcr-3 基因相比,编码两个氨基酸的替换。IS-IS 可能是一种新的遗传结构,是介导 mcr-3 通过形成环形形式转移的关键因素。位于质粒上的 mcr-1 和 mcr-3 基因可能对公共健康构成巨大威胁。
