mcr-3 and mcr-4 Variants in Carbapenemase-Producing Clinical Enterobacteriaceae Do Not Confer Phenotypic Polymyxin Resistance
The worldwide distribution of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance determinants (mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, and mcr-4) coupled to the emerging observation that colistin resistance is more prevalent in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) (1, 2) presents a daunting challenge in combatting antimicr...
