Analysis of mobile genetic elements carrying mcr genes in clinical Leclercia spp. isolates

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background <italic>Leclercia adecarboxylata</italic> is an emerging clinical pathogen within the Enterobacteriaceae family and causes infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. It often demonstrates resistance to broad-spectrum β-lactams and colistin, a last-resort antibiotic against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. The global spread of <italic>mcr</it...
