Genomic insights into multidrug-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei isolates from seafood at retail carrying the mcr-9 gene and other resistance determinants on IncHI2 plasmids
The finding of MDR E. hormaechei in seafood, carrying the mcr-9 and other resistance determinants on IncHI2 plasmids, enhances our understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and highlights the importance of gaining more data on the occurrence and circulation of AMR and ARGs in aquatic environments, in order to better understand sources, transmission routes, and evolution of AMR mechanisms.
