Co-occurrence of mcr-9 and blaNDM-1 in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei from burn patients
In conclusion, CR-<i>E. hormaechei</i> co-harboring <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM-1</sub> and <i>mcr-9</i> exhibits genetic diversity and plasmid mobility, posing a risk of cross-species transmission and clonal spread mediated by mobile genetic elements. Urgent measures are required to curb the dissemination of such multidrug-resistant strains in clinical settings.
