abstract= The mcr-1 gene encodes a phosphoethanolamine transferase, which confers resistance to colistin by transferring phosphoethanolamine to lipid A. This study describes the emergence of a colistin- and carbapenem-resistant clinical isolate of Escherichia coli harbouring mcr-1 and bla NDM-5 genes, located on 90 and 150 Kb plasmids, respectively. The isolate belonged to ST132. This is the first report of a clinical isolate in Japan co-harbouring mcr-1 and bla NDM-5.,
