Virulence gene typing of Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)isolates in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC)

We determined the presence of four virulence genes: (cna, seh, PVL, TSST-1) using multiplex PCR in 880 isolates of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) collected from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) in 2009. We found that 51.59% (454/880) of the strains ha...
