Molecular characterization of Staphylococcus argenteus in Myanmar: identification of novel genotypes/clusters in staphylocoagulase, protein A, alpha-haemolysin and other virulence factors.

CONCLUSION: The primary virulence factors (staphylocoagulase, protein A andalpha-haemolysin) as well as the SE-like toxins of S. argenteus were genetically discriminated from those of S. aureus, revealing the presence of the novel coa-type/subtype (coa-IXd, XIV) in S. argenteus.
