Comparative analysis of AAC(6′)-Ib activity in presence of amikacin (substrate) and amikacin-adjuvant combinations. In presence of amikacin as a substrate as well as positive control, the enzyme showed the highest activity (red line) through acetylation (natural ligand acetyl-CoA), whereas the combination of amikacin and adjuvants (ZnPT, vitamin D, E, and K) significantly reduced the activity of AAC(6′)-Ib. Similar results of enzyme activity reduction by adjuvants with Kanamycin and Gentamicin combinations are presented in Supplementary Fig. S6.
