Summary

Background
---------------
Until now, polymyxin resistance has involved chromosomal mutations but has never been reported via horizontal gene transfer. During a routine surveillance project on antimicrobial resistance in commensal _Escherichia coli_ from food animals in China, a major increase of colistin resistance was observed.
