Question
Chapter 10, Problem 21Q
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The top three recommendations by Center for Disease Control (CDC) for halting the spread of mcr-1-containing bacteria.
Introduction:
Bacteria contain the gene mcr-1 that provides them with resistance to polymyxin, also known as colistin. Polymyxin is considered to be the last option of antibiotic against bacteria that are resistant to multiple drugs. This leads to the possibility of emergence of infections that no drug can treat any more. Due to this, the CDC has been closely monitoring the passage of this gene.

My apologies for not providing the article earlier! Here is the question with the article. Due to upload limits imposed by Bartleby, I will provide the remaining text that cannot be given in images here.
Please note, this extra text begins from the word "patient" from the second image:
population. Suresh says that in recent years, vaccine development efforts have shifted away from live vaccines toward protein vaccines because an increasing number of people are living with compromised immune systems due to chemotherapy, radiation treatments or conditions such as HIV/AIDS.
