Abstract
An increase in multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed at one of the departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Nine different integ rons and 17 gene cassettes were found, including the new gene cassette aadA 8. This cassette was highly related to aadA3 and aadA2. In addition, an unk nown promoter sequence was found for two integrons.
