variety of virulence factors that play an important role in a wide range of pathogenic mechanisms, such as adhesion, invasion, intracellular survival, toxin production, and iron acquisition [ 7 ]. However, the presence of virulence genes in multidrug
–Valentine leukocidin, and bi-component pore-forming toxins are prominent virulence factors that have been associated with skin and soft tissue infections due to S. aureus [ 51 – 54 ]. Admittedly, molecular screening for virulence factors was beyond the scope of this
