PCR revealed that 15 tested isolates were S. aureus using 16SrRNA at 791 bp. The study conducted to detect virulence genes, coa 15 isolates were positive at 570 bp. (100%), clfA15 isolates were positive at 638 bp. (100%), See gene is the highest SE, 5 isolates were positive at 209 bp. (33.33%), followed by Seb gene 1isolate were positive at164 bp. (6.67%).
