Primer extension analysis has identified a promoter for the aac(3)-VIa gene downstream of both the aadA1 gene and a 59-base element often seen in an integron environment.
Characterization of the chromosomal aac(6')-Ic gene from Serratia marcescens
High-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of extracts prepared from Escherichia coli carrying the chromosomal aac(6')-Ic gene on a plasmid confirmed the presence of 6'-N-acetyltransferase activity in this strain, which was suggested by the aminoglycoside resistance profile.

Isolation, characterization, and DNA sequence analysis of an AAC(6')-II gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
It is speculated that these two genes arose from a common ancestor and that the processes of selection and dissemination have led to the observed differences in the spectrum of aminoglycoside resistance.
