Abstract excerpt
Dot blot hybridization and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to study aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes in aminoglycoside-resistant staphylococci isolated in hospitals in Kuwait. DNA encoding the acetyltransferase (AAC) (6')-phosphotransferase (APH) (2"), nucleotidyltransferase (ANT) (4') and APH (3') enzymes were detected in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative staphylococci. ANT (4') was the...
