Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of the newly described transferable colistin resistance gene mcr-9 in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates from horses in Sweden. Methods: A total of 56 whole-genome sequenced ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from horses were subjected to in silico detection of antimicrobial resistance genes and identification of plasmid replicons types. The colistin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for mcr-positive isolates was determined by broth microdilution. Relatedness between Enterobacteriaceae carrying mcr genes was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and core genome MLST. Results: Thirty ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from horses were positive for the colistin resistance gene mcr-9. These isolates included Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca and Citrobacter freundii and belonged to diverse MLST sequence types within each species. Two of the mcr-9-containing isolates originated from the same horse. All mcr-9-positive isolates had colistin MICs below or equal to the EUCAST epidemiological cut-off value of 2 mg/L and were negative for the two potential regulatory genes qseB-like and qseC-like for mcr-9. Except for one isolate carrying only bla(TEM-1B), all of the isolates carried bla(SHV-12) and bla(TEM-1B), and were all considered multidrug-resistant as they harboured genes encoding resistance to aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, fosfomycin, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, trimethoprim and tetracyclines. Plasmid replicon types IncHI2 and IncHI2A were detected in all mcr-9-positive isolates. Conclusion: The occurrence of mcr-9 was common among clinical ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from horses in Sweden and was linked to the ESBL-encoding gene bla(SHV-12) and plasmid replicon types IncHI2 and IncHI2A.
