We report chromosomally located novel MDR genomic islands and transposon that carry blaVEB-1 in mcr-positive Aeromonas strains. These genetic elements may mediate the spread of blaVEB-1 in Aeromonas, and may also evolve by capturing new antimicrobial resistance genes or other mobile genetic elements.
