Abstract excerpt
Most aminoglycoside resistance in Acinetobacter spp. involves production of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. Previous studies have shown that the genes encoding these enzymes can be present on plasmids, transposons or within integron-type structures. To determine whether particular mechanisms of aminoglycoside resistance have developed in strains from specific geographical locations (with subsequent clonal...
