Abstract

A survey of 2,003 cecal content samples from chickens, turkeys, cattle, and swine at slaughter facilities in the United States was conducted to estimate the prevalence of the mcr-1 gene conferring resistance to colistin in Enterobacteriaceae. Two cecal samples from swine had Escherichia coli with IncI2 plasmids bearing the mcr-1 gene.
