Co-existence of two distinct incompatible mcr-1-bearing plasmids (pGD65-3 and pGD65-4) in a single colistin-resistant E. coli isolate GD65. a Cartoon diagram for the two mcr-1-positive plasmids (pGD65-3 and pGD65-4) that coexist in an E. coli isolate GD65. b Linear comparison of the IncI2-type plasmid pGD65-3 with other two closely related mcr-1-harboring plasmids pHNSHP45 and pHN1122-1. c Linear genome alignments of the IncX4-type plasmid pGD65-4 with other two closely related mcr-1-bearing plasmids pMCR1_IncX4 and pSH146_32. Regions (>99% similarity) are marked by green shading. Genes associated with the tra and pil loci are separately indicated by light blue arrows, while replication-associated genes are denoted as dark blue arrows. The mcr-1 genes are highlighted in red, while insertion sequences are in green arrows
