Isolate designations presented with source of collection site and subject. PCR was used to determine presence of gyrA, S. aureus specific DNA gyrase A gene; mecA, methicillin resistance gene; pvl genes encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin and Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type (SCCmec) Staphylococcal protein A type, spa type are shown.
