Housekeeping genes are known to be often compact in size, which is attributed to selection for economy in transcription and translation [14,15].
Multilocus Sequence Typing The internal fragments of 7 housekeeping genes (aroE [shikimate dehydrogenase], gdh [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase], gki [glucose kinase], recP [transketolase], spi [signal peptidase I], xpt [xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase], and ddl [D-alanine-D-alanine ligase]) were amplified from chromosomal DNA by PCR.
Frequently, these CpGs are clustered in islands around transcription start sites of housekeeping genes, where they are usually unmethylated.
