Figure 1

Scheme of the spa -gene with annealing sites for the novel spaT3-F primer and standard primers. Notes: black arrows indicate five annealing sites for spaT3-F primer; grey arrow indicates annealing site for 1095 F standard primer; white arrow indicates annealing site for 1517R standard primer; figures represent distance between the beginning of spaT3-F primer and the beginning of Xr region. Spa-gene: s – signal sequence, E, D, A, B, C – IgG-binding domains, X – region which lacks IgG-binding activity and consists of repetitive region (Xr) and C-terminal region (Xc).
