Aminoglycoside-resistant gram-negative pathogens producing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) methyltransferase (MTase) have emerged and spread globally. 16S rRNA MTase-producing gram-negative pathogens tend to show a multidrugresistance profile against b-lactams and fluoroquinolones. 16S rRNA MTase producers resist the newly approved aminoglycoside, plazomicin. Treatment options are limited for infections caused by multidrug-resistant 16S rRNA MTase producers.
