Abstract
Enterobacter cloacae complex belong to a group for which colistin resistance is not well documented, due to their frequent heteroresistance. Previous studies have examined the role of the two-component systems PhoP-PhoQ and its negative regulator mgrB or the arnBCADTEF operon. We investigated the molecular basis of colistin heteroresistance using genome analysis and random mutagenesis in a strain of Enterobacter cloacae and identified the arnA gene as responsible for colistin resistance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.
JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides a single voice devoted to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Featuring peer-reviewed and up to date research articles, reviews, short notes and hot topics JGAR covers the key topics related to antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic resistance.
