Identification of a putative hexose phosphate transport system in S. aureus. (A) A schematic map of the genomic organization of the hexose phosphate transport system in S. aureus LAC and its mutant derivatives; (B) a PCR confirmation of a deletion mutant of HptA (ΔHptA mutant), HptRS (ΔHptRS mutant), and UhpT (ΔUhpT mutant) and the corresponding complemented strains, pMK4-HptA, pMK4-HptRS, and pMK4-UhpT, respectively.
