Colistin Susceptibility in Companion Animal-Derived Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. in Japan: Frequent Isolation of Colistin-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae Complex

Colistin Susceptibility in Companion Animal-Derived Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp. in Japan: Frequent Isolation of Colistin-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae Complex

Transmission of colistin-resistant Enterobacterales from companion animals to humans poses a clinical risk as colistin is a last-line antimicrobial agent for treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria including Enterobacterales. In this study, we investigated the colistin susceptibility...
