is a plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance gene embedded within a gene cassette, most often within an integron. It confers resistance to quinolones and aminoglycosides. We investigated the role of a 101-bp fragment frequently present upstream of the gene cassette and found that it contributes to the expression of and provides an alternative start codon, confirming the length of the AAC(6')-Ib-cr protein to 199 amino acids.
是一个嵌入基因盒内的质粒介导喹诺酮抗性基因,最常见于整合子中。它赋予对喹诺酮类和氨基糖苷类的抗性。我们研究了基因盒上游经常出现的一个101 bp片段的作用,发现它有助于的表达并提供一个替代起始密码子,证实了AAC(6')-Ib-cr蛋白的长度为199个氨基酸。
