Emergence of concurrently transmissible mcr-9 and carbapenemase genes in bloodborne colistin-resistant Enterobacter cloacae complex isolated from ICU patients in Kolkata, India

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Colistin 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, determined the resistance mechanisms and characterized colistin-resistant hospital isolates. Twenty-nine bloodborne CR-ECC isolated from ICU patients of...
