title: Gentamicin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
abstract: A clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to gentamicin, kanamycin, and tobramycin by virtue of the production of a drug-inactivating enzyme. Attempts to establish the cellular location of the genetic determinants for enzyme synthesis have given equivocal results.
