Abstract

Severe infections caused by multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative rods pose a clinical threat due to their high mortality risk. The global spread of plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance genes has become a serious problem. In this study, we identified Enterobacter spp. harboring mcr-9 and mcr-10 from a wastewater treatment plant in Japan.

Keywords: Enterobacter; colistin-resistant; mcr.
