English Mutations in crrAB genes encoding a two-component regulator involved in modifications of lipopolysaccharide were searched for among a collection of colistin- resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Four isolates, respectively, producing carbapenemases NDM-1, OXA-181, or KPC-2 showed mutated CrrB proteins compared with those in wild-type strains. Complementation assays with a wild-type CrrB protein restored the susceptibility to colistin in all cases, confirming the involvement of the identified substitutions in the resistance phenotype.
