Abstract

The emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 incurs great concerns. Since the close proximity of pigeons with humans, it is significant to understand the prevalence and molecular characterization of mcr-1 -positive isolates in pigeons, to provide a rationale for controlling its spread.
