Abstract

Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic for severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. Colistin resistance genes mcr , particularly mcr-1 , have been found in Enterobacteriaceae around the world, mainly in Escherichia coli and Salmonella . Salmonella enterica is a major foodborne pathogen, with MDR Salmonella being considered a “Serious Threat Level pathogen” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
