title: Novel gene cassettes and integrons.
abstract: An increase in multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed at one of the departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Nine different integrons and 17 gene cassettes were found, including the new gene cassette aadA8. This cassette was highly related to aadA3 and aadA2. In addition, an unknown promoter sequence was found for two integrons.
