Highlights
Aarts on behalf of the authors of the original publication) would like to present here the correct nomenclature and mechanistic features of the antibiotic resistance genes belonging to the following classes: Aminoglycosides (Table 1), Phenicols (Table 3), Macrolides–Lincosamides– Streptogramin B (Table 4), Quinolones (Table 5), Tetracyclines (Table 6), and Trimethoprim (Table 7)
In addition some additional information is given on the various classes of antibiotic resistance genes as a section regarding the antibiotic class Oxazolidinones has been added
ACT: Acetyltransferase; MET: Methyltransferase; NUT: Nucleotidyltransferase; PHT: Phosphotransferase. aAlthough the sat genes are not aminoglycoside resistance determinants, they encode streptothricin-acetyltransferases, for convenience they are included in this table
