Genomic insights into multidrug-resistant extraintestinal pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O4:H12 harboring <i>mcr-5</i> and <i>bla</i>SHV-12 on conjugative plasmids isolated from chicken meat in Japan
This study presents the first identification of polymyxin-resistant E. coli co-carrying mcr-5 and ESBL genes in meat from Japan, highlighting the critical need for routine investigations of these genes within food ecosystems.
