• Probe-based detection
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Virulence genes

Probe-based detection of mecA, lukS/F-PV (Panton Valentine leukocidin), and tst virulence genes in 435 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus had comparable sensitivity and specificity to end-point polymerase chain reaction as a reference standard.
