Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of a newly identified amikacin resistance gene , anc(6')-Iq (551 bp), is reported. It has 68.4 and 94.4% homology wit h the aac(6')-Ia gene and the recently described aac(6')-Ip gene, resp ectively. Analysis of its flanking sequences indicated that it is in t he first cassette of a class I integron and has an attC site (59-base element) 108 bp in length.
