Abstract excerpt
Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic for multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections. Recently, the ninth allele of the mobile colistin resistance ( mcr ) gene family, designated mcr-9 , was reported. However, its clinical and public health significance remains unclear. We queried genomes of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) for mcr-9 from a convenience sample of clinical isolates collected between 2012...
