Identification of Novel Mobilized Colistin Resistance Gene <italic toggle="yes">mcr-9</italic> in a Multidrug-Resistant, Colistin-Susceptible <named-content content-type="genus-species">Salmonella enterica</named-content> Serotype Typhimurium Isolate
ABSTRACT Mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes are plasmid-borne genes that confer resistance to colistin, an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. To date, eight known mcr homologues have been described (mcr-1 to -8). Here, we describe mcr-9, a novel mcr homologue detected durin...
