Emergent of Colistin Resistant Enterobacteriaceae carrying the mcr-1 gene among clinical isolates from patients in an Argentine hospital: Clinical and microbiological aspects J Nievas D Torres F Nicola P Bonvehí L Scocozza W Alcalá F Herrera S RellosoJ Smayevsky<p>The recent emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extremely drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria has renewed interest in colistin (Polymyxins, a family of cationic polypeptide antibiotics) as a last-resort in the treatment of severe bacterial infections [1,2], despite being a drug with potential serious adverse events (mainly high risk of nephrotoxicity) [3,4]. Acquired resistance to polymyxins is generally associated with chromosomal mutations [5,6].&nbsp;</p> Global Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Research - Peertechz Publications 2018-12-11 Letter to Editor https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5363.000019 en Copyright © J Nievas et al.
