AcrD, a transporter belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division family, was shown to participate in the efflux of aminoglycosides. Deletion of the acrD gene decreased the MICs of amikacin, gentamicin, neomycin, kanamycin, and tobramycin by a factor of two to eight, and Delta acrD cells accumulated higher levels of [3H]dihydrostreptomycin and [3H]gentamicin than did the parent strain.
