Draft Genome Sequences of Multidrug-Resistant and mcr-1.1-Harboring Escherichia coli Isolated from Drinking and Well Waters Used in Syrian Refugee Camps.


ABSTRACT: Resistance to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, threatens the treatment of complicated infections, especially in susceptible populations such as Syrian refugees who live in makeshift camps. Two multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains with the plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene (mcr-1.1) were isolated from the waters used by refugees and sequenced to analyze antibiotic resistance determinants.
