Abstract

Streptoalloteichus hindustanus ATCC 31219, a nebramycin complex producer, is similar to Streptomyeces tenebrarius in a viewpoint of resistance to a wide range of aminoglycoside antibiotics. S. tenebrarius has resistance mechanisms of 16s rRNA methylation and aminogycoside modification. However, it is not known whether resistance mechanisms of Stall. hindustanus are the same as in S. tenebrarius. Therefore, we have tried to isolate resistance determinants from Stall. hindustanus. Two different types of aminoglycoside resistance determinants were isolated from Stall. hindustanus and expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The apramycin resistance gene (amr) and the tobramycin resistance gene (tmr) isolated from Stall. hindustanus showed broad resistance spectrum against a dozen of aminoglycoside antibiotics. The complete nucleotide sequences of apramycin resistance gene (amr) were determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the amr gene of Stall hindustanus ATCC 31219 showed extensive sequence homology to the 16s rRNA methylase gene (kamB) of S. tenebrarius.
