Note: High-Level Aminoglycoside Resistance in the Beta-Hemolytic Group G Streptococcus Isolate BM2721

摘要

The beta-hemolytic group G Streptococcus clinical isolate BM2721 was resistant to high levels of aminoglycosides by synthesis of AAC(6′)-APH(2"), APH(3′)-III, and ANT(6) modifying enzymes. The corresponding genes were found to be adjacent as the result of a recombination event between Tn4001 and Tn5405, two transposons originating in staphylococci.
