This study identified a high prevalence (57.9%) of the mcr-1 gene in Escherichia coli isolates from poultry in Brazil, suggesting that animal agriculture practices may contribute to antimicrobial resistance spreading to humans. The mcr-1 and mcr-5 genes, which confer resistance to colistin, were found in 62% and 3% of isolates respectively from broiler chickens and layer hens. Genetic analysis showed the resistance was not due to a single clone but rather emerging independently, and a variety of plasmids we
