Horizontal transfer of a plasmid possessing mcr-1 marked with a single nucleotide mutation between Escherichia coli isolates from community residents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The widespread dissemination of phenotypic colistin-resistant (COR) bacteria in the community threatens public health. The horizontal gene transfer of the mobile colistin resistance gene via plasmids is thought to be one of the main mechanisms for dissemination. However, genotypic evidence to prove this in community settings is limited. This study used genome analysis to demonstrate the direct horizontal colistin resistance gene transfer via plasmids in isolates from the community. RESULTS: A total of 19 isolates of COR Escherichia coli from stool specimens of 23 residents from seven households in the Vietnamese community were assessed in this study. The whole-genome sequence data of isolates were acquired using a combination of DNBSEQ short-reads and Nanopore long-read sequencing. Analysis of genomic data was performed using online tools such as Geneious. Analysis of the genomic information of COR E. coli isolates revealed that the isolates from two residents of different households had a similar IncP1 plasmid possessing mcr-1.1, marked with a single nucleotide mutation at the same position. The study provided direct evidence to prove that mcr was horizontally transmitted among bacteria in community residents.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
