Screening for mobile colistin resistance gene-9 (mcr-9) in multidrug resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infections
We found that none of the isolates that we screened were colistin or polymyxin B resistant and mcr-9 gene was absent, indicating that there was no cross-over of mcr-9 resistance from the environment to clinical UPEC strains.
