Whole genome sequencing of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated in Asia. Enterobacteriaceae

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), including Enterobacteriaceae, are a serious threat to public health due to limited management of severe infections and high mortality. The rapid increase in carbapenem resistance among GNB has renewed focus on the importance of colistin. Colistin is considered as a last-resort measure for lethal MDRGNB infection. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated in Asia.
