Lescat, Mathilde Poirel, Laurent Nordmann, Patrice 2018-12-01 A rapid (total time <2 h) and reliable multiplex polymerase chain reaction for screening of mcr-1 to mcr-5 genes conferring resistance to colistin has been developed. This technique has been tested on a collection of isolates previously identified as bearing mcr-1, mcr-2, and mcr-like genes and had a sensitivity and a specificity of 100%. Using this method, we were also able to identify a single isolate possessing both mcr- 1 and mcr-5 genes. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/307430 https://sonar.ch/documents/307430/files/nor_rmp.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2018.04.010 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease. - 2018, vol. 92, no. 4, p. 267–269 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 Rapid multiplex polymerase chain reaction for detection of mcr-1 to mcr-5 genes http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
