Primers used for MLST of Acinetobacter baumannii complex (Oxford scheme)

Genes

The Acinetobacter baumannii complex MLST scheme uses fragments of the following seven house-keeping genes:

Citrate synthase (gltA)
DNA gyrase subunit B (gyrB)
Glucose dehydrogenase B (gdhB)
Homologous recombination factor (recA)
60-kDa chaperonin (cpn60)
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (gpi)
RNA polymerase sigma factor(rpoD)
