Primers used for MLST of Klebsiella pneumoniae
 

- Genes

The Klebsiella pneumoniae MLST scheme uses internal fragments of the following seven housekeeping genes:

  • rpoB (beta-subunit of RNA polymerase)
  • gapA (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase)
  • mdh (malate dehydrogenase)
  • pgi (phosphoglucose isomerase)
  • phoE (phosphorine E)
  • infB (translation initiation factor 2)
  • tonB (periplasmic energy transducer)

- PCR amplification and Sequencing

Two protocols are available. Protocol 1 (P1) uses the original primers and conditions of our publication (Diancourt et al., 2005); Protocol 2 (P2) is a simplified protocol that uses primers with universal sequencing tails, which allows to PCR all genes at the same temperature and to sequence all genes with the same forward and reverse sequencing primers.

Protocol 1 (Diancourt et al., 2005) :

- PCR conditions (P1)

PCR amplification is performed at an annealing temperature of 50°C for all genes except for gapA (60°C) and tonB (45°C)

Note : In the case of gene tonB, with the primers described in Diancourt et al. (2005), you must use MgCl2 at 50 mM. However, the new tonB primers (P2) work with MgCl2 at 25 mM as for other genes, and at the same temperature (50 degrees). .

- Sequencing primers (P1)

We use the PCR primers also for sequencing, except for gene infB for which primer infB2F is used instead of the forward PCR primer, and for pgi, for which primers pgi2F and pgi2R are used.
