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., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.000793
