چکیده
|
Polymyxins are the last line of defense against lethal infections caused by multidrug resistant gram-negative pathogens. very recently,the use of polymyxins has been greatly challenged by the emergence of the plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr-1). however,the mechanistic aspects of the mcr-1 colistin resistance are still poorly understood. here we report the comparative genomics of two new mcr-1-harbouring plasmids isolated from the human gut microbiota,highlighting the diversity in plasmid transfer of the mcr-1 gene. further genetic dissection delineated that both the trans-membrane region and a substrate-binding motif are required for the mcr-1-mediated colistin resistance. the soluble form of the membrane protein mcr-1 was successfully prepared and verified. phylogenetic analyses revealed that mcr-1 is highly homologous to its counterpart pea lipid a transferase in paenibacili,a known producer of polymyxins. the fact that the plasmid-borne mcr-1 is placed in a subclade neighboring the chromosome-encoded colistin-resistant neisseria lpta (epta) potentially implies parallel evolutionary paths for the two genes. in conclusion,our finding provids a first glimpse of mechanism for the mcr-1-mediated colistin resistance. © 2016 gao et al.
