# Complete genome sequence of Enterobacter cloacae ST462 harboring the mcr-9 gene on the chromosome, isolated from a pediatric diarrhea patient in Southern Vietnam

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome of an Enterobacter cloacae strain from a child in Vietnam that is resistant to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of an Enterobacter cloacae ST462 strain carrying the mcr-9.1 gene.

## Key findings

- The genome contains the mcr-9.1 gene, associated with colistin resistance, located on the chromosome.
- The genome is 5,049,362 bp long and includes 24 resistance genes spread across 107 contigs.
- The strain was isolated from a pediatric diarrhea patient in southern Vietnam.

## Abstract

Colistin resistance threatens global health as it compromises the effectiveness of a last-resort antibiotic. We present the complete genome sequence of Enterobacter cloacae ST462, which carries the mcr-9.1 gene, isolated from a pediatric diarrhea case in southern Vietnam. The 5,049,362 bp genome contains 24 resistance genes distributed across 107 contigs.
