在巴西的一项多中心抗菌素耐药性监测研究中，研究了2000年至2016年从人类、动物、食品和环境样本中分离的4,620株肠杆菌科细菌的粘菌素耐药性。我们提供的证据表明，至少自2012年以来，mcr-1阳性大肠埃希菌已在南美洲出现，支持先前关于可能获得携带mcr-1的大肠埃希菌的报告。欧洲游客在拉丁美洲国家旅行时感染了大肠杆菌。
During a Brazilian multicentric antimicrobial resistance surveillance study, colistin resistance was investigated in 4,620 Enterobacteriaceae isolated from human, animal, food and environmental samples collected from 2000 to 2016. We present evidence that mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli has been emerging in South America since at least 2012, supporting a previous report on the possible acquisition of mcr-1-harbouring E. coli by European travellers visiting Latin American countries.
