Characterization of the chromosomal aac(6')-Ii gene specific for Enterococcus faecium
1 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal gene aac(6')-Ii of Enterococcus faecium CIP 54-32, encoding a 6'-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase was characterized. The gene was identified as a coding sequence of 549 bp corresponding to a protein with a calculated mass of 20,666 Da. Analysis of the sequence of the deduced protein suggested that it was the second member of a subfamily of AAC(6')-I enzymes. Insertional inactivation of aac(6')-Ii...
