Detection of mobile colistin resistance genes <i>mcr-9.1</i> and <i>mcr-10.1</i> in <i>Enterobacter asburiae</i> from Ecuadorian children
Colistin is one of the last-line treatments for multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The emergence of mobile colistin resistance genes has driven global concern and triggered the need for surveillance. Our report reveals the identification of <i>mcr-9.1</i> and <i>mcr-10.1</i> in Ecuador by employing a proximity ligation technique.
