First Detection of mcr-9 in a Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli of Animal Origin in Italy Is Not Related to Colistin Usage on a Pig Farm [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2023 The emergence of colistin resistance raises growing concerns because of its use as a last-resort antimicrobial for the treatment of severe gram-negative bacterial infections in humans. Plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance genes (mcr) are particularly

Identification of Novel Mobilized Colistin Resistance Gene
mBio, 2019 Mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes are plasmid-borne genes that confer resistance to colistin, an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. To date, eight known mcr homologues have been described (mcr-1 to -8). Here, we describe mcr-9,

Emergence of concurrently transmissible mcr-9 and carbapenemase genes in bloodborne colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex isolated from ICU patients in Kolkata, India [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumColistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex (CR-ECC) infections has grown expeditiously but detecting the underlying mechanism of resistance is often challenging in clinical settings. This study, first of its kind from India,

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.
