Article Synopsis
- Colistin is a crucial last-resort antibiotic for treating serious infections from multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, but resistance is becoming a global issue, particularly with plasmid-mediated resistance genes.
- A study in Bangladesh found that over 31.6% of bacterial isolates from diarrheal infants and children showed colistin resistance, and 15.5% carried mobile colistin resistance genes.
- The research highlighted a significant link between these resistance genes and phenotypic colistin resistance, indicating an urgent need for further investigation and action to combat the spread of these resistant bacteria.
