ABSTRACT: Introduction
Colistin 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 bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid, bla NDM-1-carrying plasmid and mcr-9-carrying plasmid coexisting in a carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei isolate.Methods
E. hormaechei strain E1532 was subjected to whole-genome sequencing, and the complete nucleotide sequences of three resistance plasmids identified in the strain were compared with related plasmid sequences. The resistance phenotypes mediated by these plasmids w
