Complete genome characterization of mcr-1-mediated colistin-resistant Escherichia coli from outpatients in Bulgaria
This report further confirms the role of IncI2 conjugative plasmids in the dissemination of mcr genes. Our findings involving chromosomal mcr-1 in high-risk ST131 E. coli strains from outpatients underscores the need for enhanced surveillance and systematic screening to combat colistin resistance.
