Primers used for MLST of Mycobacterium abscessus

Genes

The Mycobacterium abscessus MLST scheme uses internal fragments of the following housekeeping genes:

argH (argininosuccinate lyase)
cya (adenylate cyclase)
glpK (glycerol kinase)
gnd (6-phosphogluconate deshydrogenase)
murC (UDP N-acetylmuramate-L-Ala ligase)
pta (phosphate acetyltransferase)
purH (phoshoribosylaminoimiazolcarboxylase ATPase subunit)

PCR conditions

Conditions for PCR amplification are 5 min at 94°C followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 58°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min with a final extension step at 72°C for 10 min.
