Novel Plasmid Carrying Mobile Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-4.3 and Mercury Resistance Genes in Shewanella baltica: Insights into Mobilization of mcr-4.3 in Shewanella Species

ABSTRACT Shewanella species have been identified as progenitors of several clinically important antibiotic resistance genes. The aim of our study was to analyze Shewanella baltica strains isolated from the gut contents of wild Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) for the presence of both known and n...
