Properties of the Gentamicin Acetyltransferase Enzyme and Application to the Assay of Aminoglycoside Antibiotics

J M Broughall 1, D S Reeves 1
PMCID: PMC429292  PMID: 1101816

Abstract

The acetyltransferase technique of serum gentamicin assay was demonstrated to be specific for aminoglycoside antibiotics. The enzyme involved was isolated and stabilized by lyophilization.
