Bacteriophage analysis of staphylokinase-negative Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from people.

Abstract excerpt

Staphylokinase is one of virulence factors produced by Staphylococcus aureus strains. Producing it is associated with the presence of prophage in a bacterial cell which carries the sak gene. In this study, we examined the ability to produce staphylokinase by 257 S. aureus strains isolated from the inpatient and the outpatients (carriers) and the fact whether there is a correlation between sensitivity to...
