The Political and Business Daily
|June 23, 2025
A team of US researchers on Sunday said it has identified a way that colistin (a potent, last-resort antibiotic) resistance genes are spreading via imported seafood.

Colistin is used only to treat people with dangerous, life-threatening bacterial infections that have developed resistance to other drugs. But it's not foolproof.
Worldwide, resistance to colistin is spreading, further diminishing treatment options and putting infected people at higher risk.
Researchers from the University of Georgia recently identified a way that colistin resistance genes are spreading.
In a new study, microbiologist Issmat Kassem, and his group have reported the first isolation of colistin-resistance genes in bacteria found in imported shrimp and scallops, purchased from 8 food markets around Atlanta.
