Primers used for MLST of Streptococcus thermophilus
Genes
The Streptococcus thermophilus MLST scheme uses internal fragments of the following housekeeping genes:
ddlA (D-alanine--D-alanine ligase)
glcK (glucose kinase)
proA (gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase)
ptsI (phosphoenolpyruvate-protein phosphotransferase)
serB (phosphoserine phosphatase)
tkt (transketolase)
