Abstract

We created a database of all currently known mobile colistin resistance genes and variants (n = 115). It contains accession numbers of the gene and protein sequences, mutations between the protein variants and the main proteins, and additional metadata. It is accompanied by all genetic and protein sequences as two aggregated FASTA files.

Keywords: colistin; database; gene sequences; mcr genes; mutations; protein sequences.
