Abstract
Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic (polymyxin E) that has in recent years re-emerged as an option for treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recently, the re-introduction of colistin resulted in the appearance of colistin-resistant bacteria, which is usually caused by LPS modifications. The fact that this modification is mediated by a plasmid carrying the mcr-1 gene, implies a horizontal transfer of colistin resistance. In Argentina, the...
