Aminoglycoside 2′‐N‐acetyltransferase genes are universally present in mycobacteria: characterization of the aac(2 ′)‐Ic gene from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the aac(2 ′)‐Id gene from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract excerpt

The genus Mycobacterium comprises clinically important pathogens such as M. tuberculosis, which has reemerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide especially with the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. The use of fast-growing species such as Mycobacterium smegmatis has allowed important advances to be made in the field of mycobacterial genetics and in the study of the mechanisms of...
