Comments:

NpmC, was identified after analysisng all world-wide available metagenomic projects in a One Health context. This gene has a high level of similarity (91.5%) with npmA and up to 92.7% similarity at amino acidic level. The protein encoded by this gene presents the conserved motifs required for A1408 methylation. npmC was synthesized and its expression in Escherichia coli resulted in a high level of resistance to 4,5-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) and 4-monosubstituted 2-DOS aminoglycosides, as well as moderate resistance to 4,6-disusbstituted 2-DOS aminoglycosides, including the last resort aminoglycoside, plazomicin.
