We examined the prevalence and molecular characteristics of <i>mcr-3</i> carrying colistin-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> among cattle, pig, and chicken isolates in South Korea. Among a total of 185 colistin-resistant <i>E. coli</i> isolates determined in this study (47 from cattle, 90 from pigs, and 48 from chicken), PCR amplification detected <i>mcr</i>-<i>3</i> genes in 17 isolates predominantly from diseased pigs. The <i>mcr</i>-<i>3</i> genes were characterized as <i>mcr-3.1</i> in 15 is ...[more]
