Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The Enterobacter cloacae complex belongs to a group in which colistin resistance is not well documented due to their frequent heteroresistance. METHODS: We investigated the molecular basis of colistin heteroresistance using genome analysis and random mutagenesis in a strain of E. cloacae. RESULTS: The arnA gene was truncated in the six colistin susceptible mutants we obtained. However, the mcr-9 gene...
