The Birth and Demise of the ISApl1-mcr-1-ISApl1 Composite Transposon: the Vehicle for Transferable Colistin Resistance

The origin and mobilization of the ~2,609-bp DNA segment containing the mobile colistin resistance gene mcr-1 continue to be sources of uncertainty, but recent evidence suggests that the gene originated in Moraxella species. Moreover mcr-1 can be mobilized as an ISApl1-flanked composite transposon (...
