A Review of Resistance to Polymyxins and Evolving Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene (<i>mcr</i>) among Pathogens of Clinical Significance
The global rise in antibiotic resistance in bacteria poses a major challenge in treating infectious diseases. Polymyxins (e.g., polymyxin B and colistin) are last-resort antibiotics against resistant Gram-negative bacteria, but the effectiveness of polymyxins is decreasing due to widespread resistan...
