Predicting Human Risk with Multidrug Resistant Enterobacter hormaechei MS2 having MCR 9 Gene Isolated from the Feces of Healthy Broiler Through Whole-Genome Sequence-Based Analysis.

The zoonotic spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the associated infections are becoming a major threat to the human population worldwide. Strategies to identify the potential pathogen dissemination by seemingly healthy livestock are at a nascent stage and it is of significant importance to monitor environmental evolution of AMR. In this study, a multidrug resistant strain (MDR) of Enterobacter hormaechei MS2 isolated from the feces of healthy broiler chicken has been characterized by whole-genome sequencing-based method.
