<i>mcr-10</i> is a newly identified plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene, but its mobilization mechanism remains unclear. In this study, <i>mcr-10</i> was found on an IncFIB plasmid carrying virulence genes <i>mrkABCDFJ</i>, <i>iucABCD</i>/<i>iutA</i>, and <i>eitCBAD</i> in a <i>Cronobacter sakazakii</i> isolate. By comparison with closely related plasmids, two recombination sites were identified flanking the genetic element containing <i>mcr-10</i> and an integrase-encoding gene, suggesting t ...[more]
