A novel gene cassette, aacA43, was identified in the aadB-aacA43-oxa10-smr2 cassette array in a class 1 integron. Like related aminoglycoside-(6')-acetyltransferases, AacA43 confers clinically relevant resistance to kanamycin, tobramycin, and some less-used aminoglycosides but not to gentamicin. Although transferable on an IncL/M plasmid, aacA43 was identified in only two different Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (14 isolates), one Escherichia coli strain (2 isolates), and one Enterobacter cloacae ...[more]
