549. First Report for Emergence of Chromosomal Borne Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-1 in a Clinical Acinetobacter Baumannii Isolates from India

摘要

BackgroundEfficacy of Colistin the last line agent against infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative pathogens, has been challenged when Liu et al. reported a plasmid-mediated gene, mcr-1, in 2015. Thereby this plasmid-borne mcr has been reported in bacterial isolates worldwide taken from humans, animals, farms, foods, and the environment. The present work invesitigate the mcr gene among clinical isolates of Acinetobacter Baumannii at our tertiary referral hospital of India.
