PixR, a Novel Activator of Conjugative Transfer of IncX4 Resistance Plasmids, Mitigates the Fitness Cost of mcr-1 Carriage in Escherichia coli
The emergence of the plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene mcr-1 threatens public health. IncX4-type plasmids are one of the most epidemiologically successful vehicles for spreading mcr-1 worldwide. Since MCR-1 is known for imposing a fitness cost to its host bacterium, the successful spread of mcr...
