Occurrence of mcr-1.1-producing Escherichia coli in clinical settings in Tunisia
The dissemination of plasmid-encoded mcr-1 genes that can spread across species and sectors is a major health issue in countries such as Tunisia, where colistin is essential for the treatment of complicated human infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. Reporting all mcr-1-positive E. coli clinical isolates is thus important to understand the dynamic of spread of these resistant pathogens.
