An Escherichia coli sequence type 31 isolate co-harbouring mcr-1 and bla NDM-1 genes on the plasmids of Incl2 and IncC groups, respectively, was recovered from a newborn with ventilator-associated pneumonia in Moscow, Russia. The convergence of polymyxin and carbapenem resistance and its expansion beyond Southeast Asia is a serious threat to human health.
