Virulence genes distributed among Staphylococcus aureus causing wound infections and their correlation to antibiotic resistance.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus causes many human infections, including wound infections, and its pathogenicity is mainly influenced by several virulence factors.

Aim: This study aimed to detect virulence genes (hla, sea, icaA, and fnbA) in S. aureus isolated from different wound infections among Egyptian patients admitted to Minia University Hospital.
