All 29 double mutants lacked the three classical AG resistance mutations in rrs (A, C, and G are the wild-type alleles for the A1401G, C1402T, and G1484T resistance mutations, respectively). Isolates that are part of the 2.2.1.1.1.3.i3 cluster are shown in Fig. 3. MICs were measured using either the UKMYC5 or UKMYC6 broth microdilution plates by Thermo Fisher Scientific (54). The provisional CCs for KAN and AMK for these plates are 4 and 1 mg/liter, respectively. Unlike for KAN, eis C-14T only has a modest effect on the MIC of AMK (i.e., the MIC distribution of this mutation spans the CC when the efflux pump is active, which is in line with data from other media) (9, 1416, 68). Consequently, KAN is a more sensitive agent to detect an inactive efflux pump than AMK. More details can be found in Table S6 in the supplemental material.
