Genomic Characterization of ESBL- and Carbapenemase-Positive Enterobacteriaceae Co-harboring mcr-9 in Japan

Genomic Characterization of ESBL- and Carbapenemase-Positive Enterobacteriaceae Co-harboring mcr-9 in Japan

Worldwide spread of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to colistin, a polypeptide antibacterial drug for last-resort treatment of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) infections, is concerning. This study aimed to elucidate colistin MICs and molecular characteristics of mcr-1 to mcr-9 of ESBL-...
