Missense mutations previously reported to be associated with colistin resistance as well as mutations modifying the length of the protein were considered. For the sake of clarity, strain 130A belonging to ST131 and exhibiting two mutations (one in PmrA and one in PmrB) was scored with a unique mutation.
