Molecular Characterization of Gentamicin-Resistant Enterococci in the United States: Evidence of Spread from Animals to Humans through Food

We evaluated the molecular mechanism for resistance of 360 enterococci for which the gentamicin MICs were ≥128 μg/ml. The aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2")-Ia, aph(2")-Ic, and aph(2")-Id genes were identified by PCR in isolates from animals, food, and humans. The aph(2")-Ib gene was not identified in any of the is...
