Figure 7From: Strain-specific differences in pili formation and the interaction of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with host cellsPCR detection of spa genes in C. diphtheriae strain NCTC 13129. Chromosomal DNA of C. diphtheriae strain NCTC 13129 was used as template for PCR using specific oligonucleotide pairs for the indicated spa genes. In all cases, DNA fragments of the expected size were amplified.Back to article page
