Plasmidic resistance to colistin mediated by mcr-1 gene in Escherichia coli clinical isolates in Argentina: A retrospective study, 2012-2018.

Conclusions: The presence of IncI2 plasmids among highly diverse E. coli clones suggests that the mcr-1 gene's wide distribution in Argentina may be driven by the horizontal transmission of IncI2 plasmids. PMID: 32973904 [PubMed]
