In70 of plasmid pAX22, a bla(VIM-1)-containing integron carrying a new aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene cassette.

PMID 11257042 · 2001

The study identifies a new integron, In70, carrying the bla(VIM-1) gene, which confers resistance to beta-lactams, including carbapenems, and three aminoglycoside resistance genes: aacA4, aphA15, and aadA1.
