Abstract
Recent emergence of transferable plasmid-borne colistin resistance (mcr genes) raised fear for pan-resistance. We evaluated the performance of a new chromogenic medium [CHROMID® Colistin R agar (COLR)] for the screening of colistin-resistant Enterobacterales. Specificity was evaluated using 89 rectal swabs and 89 stools prospectively collected. COLR sensitivity was evaluated by seeding 59 negative clinical samples artificially contaminated (105...
