Emergence of mobile colistin resistance ()-containing is a public health threat, prompting enhanced surveillance through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We evaluated a selective culture medium for the isolation of with non-wild-type colistin minimum inhibitory concentrations, including those with genes, in spiked stool samples.
