Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus revealed production patterns and hemolytic potentials unlinked to gene profiles and source.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections caused by the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus can lead to serious complications due to the varying presence of secreted toxins. Comparative studies of genomic information and production rates are needed to assess the pathogenic potential of isolated strains. Genotypic and phenotypic profiling of clinical and colonising isolates of S. aureus was used to characterise the...
