Objectives: Despite the critical importance of colistin as a last-resort antibiotic, limited studies have investigated colistin resistance in human infections in Cambodia. This study aimed to investigate the colistin resistance and its molecular determinants among Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing (CP) Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and Escherichia coli (E.

Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Phenotypic colistin resistance is highly associated with plasmid-mediated mobile colistin resistance () genes. -bearing have been detected in many countries, with the emergence of colistin-resistant pathogens a global concern.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant E. coli (CREco) pose a significant public health threat due to their multidrug resistance. Colistin is often a last-resort treatment against CREco; however, the emergence of colistin resistance gene mcr-1 complicates treatment options.

Objective: The co-occurrence of colistin and tigecycline resistance genes in poses a serious public health problem. This study aimed to characterize a strain, K82, co-harboring a colistin resistance gene (CoRG) and tigecycline resistance gene (TRG), and, importantly, investigate the genetic characteristics of the plasmid with CoRG or TRG in GenBank.
Methods: strain K82 was subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, conjugation assay, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
