Frequent convergence of mcr-9 and carbapenemase genes in Enterobacter cloacae complex driven by epidemic plasmids and host incompatibility [PDF]

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Convergence of mcr and carbapenemase genes has been sporadically detected in Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) with an upward trend. However, the state of the epidemic and underlying mechanism of such convergence has been poorly understood.
