Abstract
We showed that E. coli GB110 can mediate the spreading of antibiotic resistance genes through the food chain, while K. pneumoniae GB015 was considered to be the progenitor of the most successful multidrug-resistant clone. Since fruits are usually consumed fresh, this may serve as a direct source of mcr-1-producing bacteria in humans that requires prompt surveillance and intervention to limit the spread of resistance.
