D. Centron et Ph. Roy, CHARACTERIZATION OF THE 6'-N-AMINOGLYCOSIDE ACETYLTRANSFERASE GENE AAC(6')-IQ FROM THE INTEGRON OF A NATURAL MULTIRESISTANCE PLASMID, Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 42(6), 1998, pp. 1506-1508
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.
