Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanism MCR-1 in animals and human beings in China: A microbiological and molecular biological study
Yiyun Liu,Yang Wang,Timothy R. Walsh,Ling-Xian Yi,Rong Zhang,James Spencer,Yohei Doi,Guo-Bao Tian,Baolei Dong,Xianhui Huang,Lin-Feng Yu,Danxia Gu,Hongwei Ren,Xiaojie Chen,Luchao Lv,Dandan He,Hongwei Zhou,Zi-sen Liang,Jian-Hua Liu,Jianzhong Shen +19 more
TL;DR: The emergence of MCR-1 heralds the breach of the last group of antibiotics, polymyxins, by plasmid-mediated resistance, in Enterobacteriaceae and emphasise the urgent need for coordinated global action in the fight against pan-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Plasmid-Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-3 in Escherichia coli.
Wenjuan Yin,Hui Li,Yingbo Shen,Zhihai Liu,Shaolin Wang,Zhangqi Shen,Rong Zhang,Timothy R. Walsh,Jianzhong Shen,Yang Wang +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the likelihood of a wide dissemination of the novel mobile colistin resistance gene mCR-3 among Enterobacteriaceae and aeromonads; the latter may act as a potential reservoir for mcr-3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of a novel mobile colistin resistance gene, mcr-8, in NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Xiaoming Wang,Yao Wang,Ying Zhou,Jiyun Li,Wenjuan Yin,Shaolin Wang,Suxia Zhang,Jianzhong Shen,Zhangqi Shen,Yang Wang +9 more
TL;DR: Functional cloning indicated that the acquisition of the single mcr-8 gene significantly increased resistance to colistin in both Escherichia coli and K. pneumoniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel gene, optrA, that confers transferable resistance to oxazolidinones and phenicols and its presence in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium of human and animal origin
Yang Wang,Yuan Lv,Jiachang Cai,Stefan Schwarz,Lanqing Cui,Zhidong Hu,Rong Zhang,Jun Li,Qin Zhao,Tao He,Dacheng Wang,Zheng Wang,Yingbo Shen,Yun Li,Andrea T. Feßler,Congming Wu,Hao Yu,Xuming Deng,Xi Xia,Jianzhong Shen +19 more
TL;DR: The identification of a novel oxazolidinone resistance gene, optrA, and a first investigation of the extent to which this gene was present in E. faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of plasmid-mediated high-level tigecycline resistance genes in animals and humans
Tao He,Ran Wang,Dejun Liu,Timothy R. Walsh,Timothy R. Walsh,Rong Zhang,Yuan Lv,Yuebin Ke,Quanjiang Ji,Ruicheng Wei,Zhihai Liu,Yingbo Shen,Gang Wang,Lichang Sun,Lei Lei,Ziquan Lv,Yun Li,Maoda Pang,L Wang,Qiaoling Sun,Yulin Fu,Huangwei Song,Yuxin Hao,Zhangqi Shen,Shaolin Wang,Gong-Xiang Chen,Congming Wu,Jianzhong Shen,Yang Wang +28 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that both the surveillance of tet(X) variants in clinical and animal sectors and the use of tetracyclines in food production require urgent global attention.
