Emergence of aminoglycoside resistance genes aadA and aadE in the genus Campylobacter.

H Pinto-Alphandary 1, C Mabilat 1, P Courvalin 1
PMCID: PMC171807  PMID: 2168151

Abstract

Resistance to streptomycin or spectinomycin or both in five Campylobacter coli strains, two Campylobacter jejuni strains, and a Campylobacter-like strain was studied by enzymatic assays and dot blot hybridization. Resistance was due to 6- or 3",9-aminoglycoside adenylyltransferases and to new types of phospho- and adenylyltransferases.
