Abstract excerpt
The conserved nature of the genes that code for actinomycete secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways suggests a common evolutionary ancestor and incidences of lateral gene transfer. Resistance genes associated with these biosynthetic pathways also display a high degree of similarity. Actinomycete aminoglycoside phosphotransferase antibiotic resistance enzymes (APH) are coded for by such genes and are therefore...
