【 摘 要 】

ST121/agr-IV methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from a patient of septic arthritis (synovial fluid, blood, skin and nasal cavity). Although the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was negative, this isolate harboured a gene encoding a variant of bone sialoprotein-binding protein with a shortened SD-repeat region.
