Abstract
The emergence of acquired carbapenemases is a serious threat to public health worldwide, forcing the use of last-resort antibiotics such as polymyxins . Use of such molecules had recently led to the emergence of colistin -resistant carbapenemase-producing isolates, leaving only a few therapeutic options for the near future . Here we report the identification of colistin -resistant isolates among a collection carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.
