Dissemination dynamics of colistin resistance genes mcr-9 and mcr-10 across diverse Inc plasmid backbones
Findings from this study enhance our understanding of the plasmid backgrounds of mcr-9 and mcr-10, their associated antimicrobial resistance gene carriage and co-occurrence. This knowledge may be critical to inform scalable and effective public health interventions aimed at preserving the efficacy of colistin.
