Background: Co-harbouring of carbapenem and colistin resistance genes in multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales strains poses a serious public health problem. In this study, an MCR-1.1 and NDM-5 coproducing Escherichia coli strain named EC6563 was isolated and characterized. Objectives: This study aim...
