Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to human and animal health. Due to the rise of multi- and extreme drug resistance, last resort antibiotics, such as colistin, are extremely important in human medicine. While the distribution of colistin resistance genes can be tracked through sequencing methods, phenotypic characterization of putative antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes is still important to confirm the phenotype conferred by different genes. While heterologous expression of AMR genes (e.g., i… Show more
