Identification of Polymyxin Resistance Gene <i>mcr-10</i> from Different Food Samples in Shanghai, China
This retrospective investigation (2019-2022) identified two plasmid-mediated <i>mcr-10</i> from 6800 food samples in Shanghai, China and localized in a conjugative plasmid (pEC1918-mcr10) in <i>Escherichia kobei</i> from ready-to-eat food with high-level polymyxin B resistance, and a nonconjugative plasmid (pEC2001-mcr10) in <i>E. coli</i> from chicken. These genes were adjacent to IS<i>Ec36</i>. This report highlights the emergence of <i>mcr-10</i> from food samples in Shanghai, China. Active surveillance of vital resistance genes along food production chain should be performed.
