ABSTRACT
A spontaneous kanamycin-resistant Escherichia coli mutant, showing cross resitance to five other aminoglycosides and absence of the OppA protein was isolated. [3H]- dihydrostreptomycin uptake is reduced in this mutant, implying that the oligopeptide transport system in involved in accumulation of aminoglucosides, although apparently not related with aminoglycoside permeability alteration due to bacterial adaptation to osmotic changes.
