Table 4.
The average cDNA count of the regulatory genes from pus or swab samples and their relative cDNA count to that of gmk.
| Regulatory genes | Gene | Pus (n = 7) | Swab (n = 10) | p Value ** | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average cDNA Count | cDNA Count Relative to gmk * | Average cDNA Count | cDNA Count Relative to gmk * | |||
| S. aureus exoprotein expression S | saeS | 66.7 | 6.3 | 0.8 | 1.33 | ≤0.05 |
| Accessory gene regulator C | agrC | 58.6 | 5.6 | 0.9 | 1.5 | ≤0.05 |
| S. aureus exoprotein expression R | saeR | 56.3 | 5.4 | 2 | 3.33 | ≤0.05 |
| Accessory gene regulator B | agrB | 25.6 | 2.45 | 0.5 | 0.83 | 0.073 |
* The average cDNA count of gmk were 10.43 and 0.6 in pus and swab samples, respectively. ** p values are for comparison between pus and swab samples.
