The article presented advances our understanding of genetic elements carrying mcr-1 in Escherichia coli in both community and hospital settings. We provide evidence to suggest that diverse plasmid types, including multireplicon plasmids, have facilitated the successful transmission of mcr-1 in different reservoirs.
