Colistin is a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. The disruption of the mgrB gene by insertion sequences (ISs) is a mechanism mediating colistin resistance. Plasmids encode mobilizable IS elements which integrate into the mgrB gene in K. pneumoniae causing gene inactivation and colistin resista...
