Immunoprecipitation was done using the Ouchterlony method, and reversed passive latex agglutination was done using a toxin detection kit (Oxoid, Dardilly, France). LukFPV and LukSPV, proteins F and P of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin, respectively; EtA and EtB, A and B exfoliative toxins, respectively; SEA, SEB, SEC, and SED, A, B, C, and D enterotoxins, respectively.
