(1993), Vakulenko and Mobashery (2003), and data provided by B. Guerra, B. Aranda, D. Avsaroglu, B. Ruiz del Castillo, and R. Helmuth, on behalf of the Med-Vet Net (EU Network of Excellence) WP29 Project Group. The data were collected within the subproject “AME's,” with following participants representing their institutions: Agnes Perry Guyomard (ANSES), Dik Mevius (CVI), Yvonne Agerso (DTU), Katie Hopkins (HPA), Silvia Herrera (ISCIII), Alessandra Carattoli (ISS), Antonio Battisti (IZS-Rome), Stefano Lollai (IZS-Sardegna,), Lotte Jacobsen (SSI), Béla Nagy (VMRI), M. Rosario Rodicio and M. C. Mendoza (University of Oviedo, UO), Luis Martínez-Martínez (University Hospital of Valdecilla, HUV), and Bruno Gonzalez-Zorn (UCM).

ACT: Acetyltransferase; MET: Methyltransferase; NUT: Nucleotidyltransferase; PHT: Phosphotransferase.

Although the sat genes are not aminoglycoside resistance determinants, they encode streptothricin-acetyltransferases, for convenience they are included in this table.
