Background Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing challenge in low and middle-income
countries as it is wide-spread in these countries and is linked to an increased mortality. Apart …

Animals have been identified as potential reservoirs and vectors of resistance genes, with
studies showing that Gram-negative bacteria can acquire resistance through the horizontal …

The emergence of pathogens is conferring resistance to last-resort therapies such as
tigecycline, colistin, and carbapenems, limiting the therapeutic options, and raising concerns …

Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes (mcr-1 to mcr-10) are plasmid-encoded genes that
