98066-4
LaboratoryColistin resistance mcr-3+mcr-4+mcr-5 genes [Presence] by Molecular method
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes 3-5 (mcr-3, mcr-4, mcr-5) found in Gram-negative bacteria. Testing may be performed in addition to conventional culture susceptibility testing to determine the potential bacterial resistance mechanism to antibiotics.
