Resistance to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, threatens the treatment of complicated infections, especially in susceptible populations such as Syrian refugees who live in makeshift camps. Two multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains with the plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene ( mcr-1.1 ) were isolated from the waters used by refugees and sequenced to analyze antibiotic resistance determinants.
