Abstract

ABSTRACT Analysis of mcr-1 -containing sequences identified a common ∼2,607-bp DNA segment that in many cases is flanked on one or both ends by IS Apl1 . We present evidence that mcr-1 is mobilized by an IS Apl1 composite transposon which has, in some cases, subsequently lost one or both copies of IS Apl1 . We also show that mcr-1 can be mobilized in some circumstances by a single upstream copy of IS Apl1 in conjunction with the remnants of a downstream IS Apl1 .
