Mutations in pmrAB, phoPQ, crrAB, and mgrB affect phosphorylation of lipid A of the lipopolysaccharide through the pmrHFIJKLM (arnBCDATEF or pbgP) cluster, leading to polymyxin resistance; mgrB inactivation also affected capsule structure. Mobile and induced mcr, efflux hyperexpression and porin downregulation, and Ecr transmembrane protein also conferred polymyxin resistance and heteroresistance.
