Multilocus sequence typing database for Streptococcus agalactiae contains a spurious allele of the transketolase gene
ABSTRACT The tkt (transketolase) gene is one of the seven gene fragments used in the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system for Streptococcus agalactiae.We discovered that the tkt_134 allele is derived from a homologous gene (which we designate tktX) that is not Silicone munchbox lid present in all S.agalactiae; all known strains that contain a m
