Colistin represents the last-resort antibiotics used for treating carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae related infections. Colistin resistance has been reported in Saudi Arabia in Gram-negative bacteria (up to 40%). Nevertheless, only a handful of cases were identified to be mcr-linked due to the current clinical microbiology techniques, which do not utilize Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS). In this study, we surveyed mcrtypes from Multiple-Drug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pnumoniea clinical isolate using WGS.Citation
