MCR-1 in vivo acquisition in carbapenemase-producing E. coli
The spread of mcr-1-encoding plasmids into carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae raises concern about the emergence of untreatable bacteria. We report the acquisition of mcr-1 in a carbapenem resistant E. coli after a 3-week course of colistin in a patient repatriated to France from Portugal.
