Chromosomal coharboring of bla IMP-60 and mcr-9 in Enterobacter asburiae isolated from a Japanese woman with empyema: a case report [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022 Background Polymyxin E (colistin) is a last-resort antibiotic to treat infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). However, reports of CPEs resistant to colistin have been increasing, and the mcr genes are emerging as ...

Complete genome sequence of mcr-9 containing Leclercia adecarboxylata. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2023 ABSTRACT Here, we provide the genome sequence of a Leclercia adecarboxylata isolated from a screen of an environmental bacterial isolate library for resistance to the plant flavonoid berberine. We detected the colistin resistance gene mcr-9 , located on an IncFII(pECLA) plasmid.
