First report of coexistence of blaKPC-2-, blaNDM-1- and mcr-9-carrying plasmids in a clinical carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei isolate

IntroductionColistin is regarded as one of the last-resort antibiotics against severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Strains with cooccurrence of mcr-9 and carbapenemase genes are of particular concern. This study aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of a b...
