Abstract

We identified two new plasmids in Shewanella baltica isolated from wild Atlantic mackerel ( Scomber scombrus ) collected from the northern North Sea, one plasmid carrying the mcr-4.3 gene for colistin resistance and the operon merRPAT for mercury resistance and the other carrying multiple heavy metal resistance genes. The marine environment has been recognized as a source of new resistance genes that are found in human pathogens.
