What is Prevalence of Colistin-Resistant Bacteria Among Retail Meats in Japan about?

This study investigates the prevalence of colistin-resistant bacteria in retail meats in Japan, highlighting significant resistance rates among various gram-negative bacteria. Out of 310 meat samples, 99 isolates were found to be colistin-resistant, with the mcr gene detected in 16 isolates, primarily in E. coli and Aeromonas sobria. The findings underscore the need for ongoing surveillance of colistin resistance and related genes in food products to inform public health interventions.
